| Summary | "The White Doe" by Sallie Southall Cotten is a historical legend written in the early 20th century. The text unfolds the tale of Virginia Dare, the first child of English parents born in North America, and her mysterious fate, which has become intertwined with the legend of a white doe. It explores themes of colonization, love, and transformation, amid the complex interactions between the English settlers and Native Americans. The narrative follows the journey of Virginia Dare's family as they attempt to establish a life in the New World, only to face dire circumstances that lead to their disappearance. Central to the story is the transformation of Virginia into a white doe through the sorcery of a spurned lover, Chi-co, and her eventual tragic death as she tries to reconcile with her love, O-kis-ko. The tale interweaves the elements of folklore with historical events, focusing on the enchanting but sorrowful saga of love's struggles against the backdrop of early American history, ultimately contributing to the cultural memory surrounding Virginia Dare and the Lost Colony of Roanoak Island.
