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.
He specializes on the history of travel and exploration, and has written pieces to most of the British national newspapers as well as numerous overseas media. He has traveled widely across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas as part of his studies. He is the author of four nonfiction works, including the best-selling Nathaniel's Nutmeg, which has been translated into fifteen languages around the world. Nose is Edward Trencom's first novel.
