The Roanoke island region preserves Elizabethan era remnants from Raleighs Lost Colonies with early English dialects, customs, and a nurse Mis Bashi who as a self taught midwife and local healer tended families for decades aided by a sand pony and a two wheeled cart. The article recalls Virginia Dare the first English child born in America and narrates the 1584 to 1587 expeditions, the fate of the colonists, and a medical-minded island caregiver whose life embodies enduring Devonian traits.
