Book excerpt: North Carolina's Ocracoke island has produced a remarkably cohesive community of islanders. For more than two centuries, these Ocracokers lived in relative isolation, enjoying the beauty and battling the destructive forces of the Atlantic. In the past two decades, tourists discovered this "unique fishing village by the sea," and the tiny island was forever altered. Alarmed at the dramatic changes in the island's character over the past generation, Alton Ballance set out to capture the story of Ocracoke and its people from the unique perspective of a native. Ballance accompanies the people of Ocracoke on their everyday activities--fishing, hunting, boating--all the time recording their stories about events and people that have shaped the island's history. They have lived through hurricanes, and they remember their ancestors talking of the shipwrecks and daring rescues that occurred off the treacherous coast. During the many years when no doctor resided on the island, Ocracokers delivered each other's babies and attended to their own illnesses, sometimes with local cures. When Ballance was growing up on Ocracoke in the 1960s and 1970s, the number of year-round residents hovered around 500. Now Ocracoke is a major tourist attraction visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year. As tourism has flourished, the island has become less isolated, and Ballance discusses the consequences of this development for both islander and visitor. The modernization that accompanies tourism has provided many benefits for the island, among them better health care and schooling and more jobs. Nonetheless, the Ocracoke of old is rapidly disappearing. This book is a tribute to that Ocracoke and her people.

Download or read book The Outer Banks of North Carolina, 1584-1958 written by David Stick and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Outer Banks have long been of interest to geologists, historians, linguists, sportsmen, and beachcombers. This long series of low, narrow, sandy islands stretches along the North Carolina coast for more than 175 miles. Here on Roanoke Island in the 1580s, the first English colony in the New World was established. It vanished soon after, becoming the famous "lost colony." At Ocracoke, in 1718, the pirate Blackbeard was killed; at Hatteras Inlet and Roanoke Island important Civil War battles were fought; at Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills the Wright brothers experimented with gliders and in 1903 made their epic flight. The Graveyard of the Atlantic, scene of countless shipwrecks, lies all along the ever-shifting shores of the Banks. 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.

Book excerpt: OCRACOKE ISLAND, tucked away on North Carolina's Outer Banks, is one of the true gems of America's coastlines.In Ocracoke Lighthouse and The Old Salts, award-winning historian Ellen Fulcher Cloud shares the story of both the iconic lighthouse and the men who worked Ocracoke's waters for generations. Her unparalleled research, little-known stories and own family tradition make this a must-read for any lover of the Outer Banks. First published 25 years ago as Ocracoke Lighthouse, Part 1 shares the story of the oldest lighthouse in North Carolina and the second oldest on the East Coast. Cloud unearths original details of the 1823 construction, as well as maintenance and logbook records kept by the keepers of the lighthouse. Then she tells her personal story and that of a few other public-spirited friends who engaged in the rollicking "Great Window Heist" to keep the historic lighthouse from being unalterably damaged by government officials.Part 2, first published as Old Salt, introduces the men of the sea ¿men who made their living working the water and risked their lives every day in doing so. From 1715, when pilots first were assigned to Ocracoke, until the 1960s, almost every man on the island ¿went down to the sea.¿ Cloud lets us know these seafaring men, pilots, fishermen and shrimpers, men of war, ship builders, surfmen of the U.S. Life-Saving Service, and even her own father.LONG ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to find, the two books comprising Ocracoke Lighthouse and The Old Salts are presented in an enhanced edition with more pages and photographs, additional material, computer-enhanced photo resolution and a keepsake hardcover binding.
