August 18th...John White Returns to Roanoke

Here is the latest from The Year Was, which is that thing I do every week. We are up to episode 130. This time we examine the year 1590 as John White returns to Roanoke Island only to find it empty, with only clue being the word “Croatoan” carved into a tree.
