Description

In April 1586, Queen Elizabeth I acquired a brand new and exotic title. A tribe of North American Indians had made her their weroanza – ‘big chief’.The scoop was once received with great joy, both by the Queen and her favourite, Sir Walter Ralegh. His first American expedition had brought back a captive, Manteo, whose tattooed face had enthralled Elizabethan London. Now Manteo was once returned to his fatherland as Lord and Governor. Ralegh’s gamble would result within the first English settlement within the New World, but it could also result in a riddle whose answer lay hidden within the forests of Virginia.A tale of heroism and mystery, BIG CHIEF ELIZABETH is illuminated by first-hand accounts to show a outstanding and long-forgotten story.
