Document Summary
Sir walter raleigh was entitled by the queen elisabeth to found a new colonial and reached todays virginia. At least he thought so but actually he was close to the boundary but still in. It got its name of the belief of the virgin queen because queen elisabeth wasn"t married through her life time. He reached roanoke which still is a terrible place to leave because of swamp and unbearable living conditions. This place is also called he lost colony, because the first attend to found a permanent settlement in america was a complete failure. The title picture reminds of the fall of eve and adam in the garden of eden. Captain john smith (1580-1631) was the second attempt for permanent settlement. He was held captive in turkey and could escape to reach england again. He actually reaches virginia and found the jamestown colony which is a little south from the lost colony.
