E. Hammond walked onto the campus of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, carrying a 21-pound rock he had accidentally stumbled upon in North Carolina. The barely-legible inscription on the rock appeared to be a lengthy message from Eleanor Dare, mother of Virginia Dare, and it was dated 1591. The inscription told of the trials and tribulations endured by the English colonists after their departure from Roanoke Island in 1587. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The authenticity of that stone, commonly referred to as the Chowan River Dare Stone, has remained an open question since its appearance in 1937. Carefully researched and documented, this book finally provides conclusive evidence that the Chowan River Dare Stone is a clever 20th century fraud. In doing so, the book also tells the fascinating story of the Dare Stone and exposes the orchestration of the hoax and its shadowy perpetrators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brandon Fullam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476686432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476686431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.92h x 7.09w x 0.55d","brand":"Brandon Fullam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044710183167,"sku":"9781476686431","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d8be2ee-765b-4a8b-813c-1b89896d844d.jpg?v=1684974432","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-colony-hoax-brandon-fullam-9781476686431","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
