Description

The Outer Banks of North Carolina have had a full of life and every so often lurid history going back four centuries. These barrier islands, steadily battered by storms and hurricanes, were the web site of the first English colony in North The us and figured prominently within the Civil War. The hundreds of shipwrecks off their shores have earned the Outer Banks a reputation as the ‘Graveyard of the Atlantic.’

Rodney Barfield has assembled here more than 150 historic photographs and drawings, most of them never before published, to create a remarkable visual portrait of the Outer Banks’ history and the individuals who lived it. Focusing especially at the nineteenth century but including some images from earlier and later periods, the book is a circle of relatives album of life and work at the Banks. The photographs, accompanied by substantive captions and introductory text, document both well-known and difficult to understand elements of the islands’ past, including lighthouses, shipwrecks and rescue crews, fishing, whaling, porpoise hunting, boatbuilding, and home life.
