In 1937 a stone with several lines of inscription carved into it was found by Louis Hammond, a tourist from California, while looking for hickory nuts off U.S. 17. He found the stone in the woods about 65 miles west of Roanoke Island. Seemingly carved at the behest of Eleanor White Dare, daughter of Governor White, it told of a horrific Indian attack in 1591 that wiped out most of the Lost Colony, including Virginia Dare, first English child born in North America.In 1937 a stone with several lines of inscription carved into it was found by Louis Hammond, a tourist from California, while looking for hickory nuts off U.S. 17.
