A tribe of North American Indians had made her their weroanza - 'big chief'. The news was 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 returned to his homeland as Lord and Governor. Ralegh's gamble would result in the first English settlement in the New World, but it would also lead to a riddle whose solution lay hidden in the forests of Virginia. A tale of heroism and mystery, BIG CIEF ELIZABETH is illuminated by first-hand accounts to reveal a remarkable and long-forgotten story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubjects - BOOKS, NON FICTION, HISTORY, BRITISH HISTORY, AMERICAN HISTORY, COLONIAL HISTORY, GILES MILTON, ELIZABETH I, TUDOR HISTORY, EXPLORATION, ADVENTURERS, NEW WORLD, ELIZABETHAN ERA, MARITIME HISTORY, EMPIRE, DISCOVERY, HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY, EUROPEAN HISTORY, VOYAGES, CONQUISTADORS, INDIGENOUS HISTORY, POLITICAL HISTORY, SOCIAL HISTORY, HISTORICAL NON FICTION, EARLY AMERICA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BOOKS WORTH KEEPING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43543846191163,"sku":"9780340748824","price":10.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9266\/3355\/files\/IMG_20260525_054820-Photoroom.jpg?v=1779655095","url":"https:\/\/booksworthkeeping.co.nz\/products\/big-chief-elizabeth-how-englands-adventurers-gambled-and-won-the-new-world-by-giles-milton","provider":"Books Worth Keeping ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
