Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cape Hatteras National Seashore was authorized by Congress on August 17, 1937, and established on January 12, 1953. As the nation's first national seashore, it encompasses 30,000 acres and crosses three islands, Bodie, Hatteras, and Ocracoke, for approximately 70 miles. Nearby Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, located within the authorized seashore boundary, is 5,880 acres. Over the centuries, the seashore has witnessed major historic events, including the landing of the first English explorers, the death of Blackbeard the pirate, Civil War battles, German U-boat attacks, hundreds of shipwrecks, and devastating hurricanes. Descended from horses brought over by Spanish explorers, the Ocracoke ponies still roam the landscape. This National Park Service unit also includes the majestic Bodie Island, Cape Hatteras, and Ocracoke Lighthouses. The seashore is a haven for wildlife and recreational beachgoers. Cape Hatteras National Seashore showcases the rich natural and cultural heritage of America's first national seashore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cape Hatteras National Seashore is an acknowledged national treasure, a sun-bleached strip of land along the Atlantic coast of North Carolina's Outer Banks [OBX] that contains some of America's most pristine beaches. Contemporary visitors to the barrier island chain tend to come for its adventure sports, lighthouses, surfing and world-class fishing, but Cape Hatteras also has a storied history. Historic Cape Hatteras National Seashore is a modern abridgement of Historic Resource Study: Cape Hatteras National Seashore, North Carolina by Louis Torres. Author Torres [1921-2017] enjoyed a long and productive career as a historian with the federal government. During his tenure, Torres also wrote authoritative studies on Fort Stanwix National Monument in New York and the Washington Monument in Washington, D. C., among other works. Torres' original study of Cape Hatteras was first published by the Department of the Interior in 1985. The original work has been abridged, meticulously edited and is now made available to contemporary readers with digitally enhanced annotations, illustrations and page navigation. Historic Cape Hatteras National Seashore begins with the geography of the Outer Banks, describes the area's early indigenous populations, revisits the Revolutionary and Civil War periods, and reflects upon the modern era through the latter part of the 20th century. Readers of Historic Cape Hatteras National Seashore with come to appreciate the Cape as more than just the sum of its beaches. A Note on Spelling: Readers will find place-names like Chicamacomico, Hatteras, Kinnakeet and Ocracoke spelled in various ways throughout the text. This reflects the breadth of original sources Torres references in his study.

Download or read book Cape Hatteras Lighthouse written by Mary Ellen Riddle and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, standing 198.49 feet, is the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States. From 1803, when the first Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was built, to today, it cast its light over the waters off the Outer Banks of North Carolina, also called the "Graveyard of the Atlantic." Its history--stretching from Augustin-Jean Fresnel's lens laboratory in France to the beaches of Hatteras Island where the lighthouse keepers labored--includes war, shipwrecks, hurricanes, and cutting-edge technology. Due to politics, funding, and its precarious location, it took great effort to erect and protect a lighthouse built on a barrier island. The supporters and caretakers were many, including Alexander Hamilton in the 1700s and children donating coins to a statewide preservation campaign in 1982. In the 21st century, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse continues to send out its beam to mariners.

Book excerpt: This study is a narrative history about the creation and establishment of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, the major characters involved, and the key decisions they made.4 It follows a straightforward historical methodology. Park documents likely to provide factual information or to shed light on important events have been reviewed and presented in a chronological fashion. Where appropriate, the chronology is subdivided by topic as represented by various chapter and section headings. This method makes the document both easier to read and to reference. Major sources of information include park annual reports, official NPS correspondence relating to the park, newspaper clippings, and oral history interviews. Various NPS studies and publications are also used. All sources are carefully cited by notes. Where bias is obvious or points of view differ, sources are weighed against each other. The author's intent is to minimize speculation and to let the record speak for itself, although inferences and conclusions are stated where appropriate.

Download or read book Outer Banks Scenic Byway written by Douglas Stover and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Outer Banks National Scenic Byway stretches the length of North Carolina's 200-mile barrier islands. The unique maritime culture shared by the 21 coastal villages led to the road's designation as a National Scenic Byway in 2009. The route is entered from the north at Whalebone Junction in Nags Head, North Carolina, and from the south at the North River Bridge on US 70 East, just past Beaufort, North Carolina. Encompassing 142.5 driving miles, six and a half hours of travel time, and two ferries, the byway traverses Hatteras Island, Ocracoke, and Down East in Dare County and Hyde and Carteret Counties. This book explores the region's rich maritime history, culture, and traditions, such as boatbuilding, decoy carving, fishing, lighthouse-keeping, and living with the powerful forces of water and wind. Travelers can experience local seafood, ascend three lighthouses, and discover outdoor trails and endless miles of marsh and beaches offering bird-watching and solitude.
