Best Answer

•Raleigh had little trouble finding a commander for his expedition.

•Richard Grenville had two essential qualities: a liking for adventure

•and a hatred for Spain. It was a pity that he had a fiery temper and

•a liking for too much good wine. Apart from a short sail across the

•English channel, the voyage to America was Richard Grenville's

•first attempt at seamanship. The governor of England's first colony

•was to be Ralph Lane, an expert on building forts and a man who

•enjoyed the hard life. Ralegh hired John White, a talented artist, to

•record the expedition. Finally, Thomas Harriot, Raleigh's friend

•from Oxford University, was employed to study and to map the new

•territory. Harriot was the only person who could communicate with

•Wancheso and Manteo, the Native Americans who were returning

•to Roanoke with the colonists.
