Outer Banks

by Arcadia Publishing

Overview

A destination for many tourists eager for sun, sand, and a simpler way of life, and a far distant cry from the glitter and neon of more traditional, commercial oriented beaches, the Outer Banks of North Carolina is a natural wonder sheltering and buffering Eastern North Carolina from the volatile temperament of the Atlantic Ocean.

About the Author

John Hairr, North Carolina historian and author of Harnett County, has put together a wonderful collection of images and informative captions, pulling heavily from the United States Coast Guards' archives, the Library of Congress, and many other local sources of photographs to bring this special region's history to life. A welcome addition to any bookshelf, Outer Banks is truly a treasure that captures the beautiful sandy landscapes and tells the courageous stories of the men and women who carved out productive lives in a place ever-changing according to the the whims of the ocean.
