| Summary: |
"In 1585-6, Sir Richard Grenville led the first English attempt to found a colony in North America. Although this settlement was not blessed with success as a colonization attempt, it was blessed by the presence of the great recording artist John White and the scientific adviser Thomas Harriot.

This. is the unabridged representation of their important work."-- |
