John White was asked to settle on Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina, by Sir Walter Raleigh. Raleigh was an English explorer and the driving force behind the attempt to establish a permanent English colony in the New World during the late 16th century. White, an artist and mapmaker, served as the governor of the ill-fated Roanoke Colony, which ultimately disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
