Description:
Join us for a book talk by Andrew Lawler, author of the newly published book THE SECRET TOKEN: Myth, Obsession, and the Search for the Lost Colony of Roanoke.  Lawler explores the disappearance of America's first settlers and examines how the Lost Colony has come to haunt our national consciousness.   He offers a surprising answer to the old question of the colonists' fate based on extensive research and offers a new understanding of how this story continues to disturb and define America.  Prince Books will be on hand to sell copies of the new book and Mr. Lawler will be on hand to sign books.

Hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Troy Valos, MA, MSIS
