Miller presents a compelling narrative using various pieces of historical records - including journals and court documents - to make the story come alive. While the evidence is strong for the version of events that Miller depicts, sometimes the facts become so cumbersome that the story gets bogged down in them. With many many names, conflicts, and timelines interwoven, the final story is both rich and confusing. While a little hard to follow at times, it is ultimately worth the effort just to understand the true history of the lost colony.
