The Outer Banks Of North Carolina, 1584-1958

The Outer Banks have long been of interest to geologists, historians, linguists, sportsmen, and beachcombers. This is the fascinating story of the Banks and the Bankers; of whalers, stockmen, lifesavers, wreckers, boatmen, and fishermen; of the constantly changing inlets famous for channel bass fishing; and of the once thriving Diamond City that disappeared completely in a three-year period.
