Early English Colonial Attempts: From Gilbert to Jamestown

This overview details early English efforts to establish colonies in North America under Queen Elizabeth I. It highlights Humphrey Gilbert's 1583 claim to Newfoundland, which ended tragically with his death at sea and the disappearance of settlers, leaving only "CROATOAN" carved on a tree. Sir Walter Raleigh's 1584 claim to Roanoke Island followed, which also led to mystery as colonists vanished, including Virginia Dare, the first English child born in America. The narrative culminates in 1607 with Captain John Smith's establishment of Jamestown, marked by hardships but ultimately the success of tobacco cultivation.
