Thomas Harriot, report on Roanoke, 1588
Within a few days after our departure from every such town, the people began to die very fast, and many in short space; in some towns about twenty, in some forty, in some sixty, and in one six score, which in truth was very many in respect of their numbers. This happened in no place that we could learn but where we had been, where they used some practice against us, and after such time. The disease also was so strange that they neither knew what it was nor how to cure it. . . . [The people] were persuaded that it was the work of our God through our means, and that we by him might kill and slay whom we would without weapons and not come near them.
