Big Chief Elizabeth by Giles Milton
By the author of the best-selling Nathaniel's Nutmeg. In April 1586, Queen Elizabeth I acquired a new and exotic title. A tribe of Native Americans had made her their Weroanza - Big Chief. The news was received with great joy, both by the Queen and her favorite, Sir Walter Raleigh. 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 a feudal lord. Raleigh's gamble would result in the first English settlement in the New World, but it would also lead to a riddle whose solution for many years lay hidden in the forests of Virginia.
Milton, Giles: - Giles Milton is the internationally bestselling author of a dozen works of narrative history, including Soldier, Sailor, Frogman, Spy, Airman, Gangster, Kill or Die: How the Allies Won on D-Day. His previous work, Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, is currently being developed into a major TV series. Milton's works--published in twenty-five languages--include Nathaniel's Nutmeg, serialized by the BBC. He lives in London and Burgundy.
