“You are a remarkable woman, Virginia Dare. You survived when all around you died. And you did more than survive. You thrived. You lived alone and feral in the heart of the forest. But you were never truly alone.”

On this day:
VILLAGES VANISH
On August 18, 1590, governor John White and his company, arriving in North America from England with supplies for the settlement on Roanoke Island, searched in vain for the colony of over one hundred people. Three years earlier White had left behind his wife, daughter, and son-in-law, plus his newly born granddaughter, Virginia Dare, to return to the motherland for replenishments. If the settlers had to change locations while he was gone, they were to have left an obvious sign of where they were going and put a cross beside the sign if there had been danger involved.
Unfortunately, England's war with the Spanish had delayed White's return, and now all the governor found on the island was an abandoned fortress. White discovered the settlers' heavy implements hidden by overgrown grass inside the palisade, and no sign of their boat. A large tree beside the fortress entrance had been stripped of bark and in capital letters the word Croatoan was carved. A second tree near the water carried the letters cro. White intended to check Croatoan Island, fifty miles to the south, but the weather turned bad. His company's privateer broke anchor, drifted out to sea, and forced them to go back to England. None of the 117 Roanoke Island colonists were ever seen or heard of again.
In 1930, Joe LaBelle, a French-Canadian roving trapper, went to visit his northern friends at Lake Angikuni, five hundred miles northwest of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police base at Churchill, Manitoba. LaBelle felt a growing unease as he approached the little village of caribou skin tents, and no dogs barked at his arrival. Food, clothing, kayaks, and rifles lay about as if abandoned in mid-activity. Checking the area surrounding the deserted camp, LaBelle discovered seven dogs dead from starvation, and a cairn grave, which had been neatly emptied. For reasons unknown the twenty-five inhabitants had abandoned their homes.

I saw this image of Alondra de la Parra and it immediately reminded me of Virginia. So I've done a mini edit. I hope you like it and that it shows the effect of the wind that it took me twenty years to achieve (and, for some reason, the skin color)

I have a feeling that Virginia Dare will choose for a better world. She isn't the villian

A wine named after the first white lady born in the Americas? What’s not to like?

Book Nook: Virginia Dare and the Rat Catcher
This is a very well written book that gave a nice light on the character of Virginia Dare. Just like Machiavelli, she was one of the characters in The Alchemyst series that I was rooting for. She’s one of thise misundersyood characters that is portrayed as selfish and self-serving but with a deeper persona. This book pretty much sums up why I like her character. She’s everything girl power…

Virginia Woolf writes as if she's giving you a flower to smell, and then pushing it into your face, and now you're coughing up thorns.
