Download or read book The Hoofprints Guide to the Wild Horses of Ocracoke Island, NC written by Bonnie Gruenberg and published by Quagga Press. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild horses, once vital to the Outer Banks livestock industry, remained on Ocracoke after forces of "progress" had obliterated them elsewhere. Pony pennings lasted until the 1950s; the world's only mounted Boy Scout troop, until the 1960s. Reduced to a roadside attraction, the herd nearly died out. Recovery has been slow, and the prognosis is uncertain. Bonnie U. Gruenberg has studied, photographed, and written about wild horses for more than 20 years. Distilled from her encyclopedic Wild Horse Dilemma - Conflicts and Controversies of the Atlantic Coast Herds (Quagga Press, 2015), each Hoofprints Guide offers detailed information about the history, environment, behavior, and prospects of one Atlantic Coast herd in a convenient form with bonus photographs.

Download or read book The Wild Horse Dilemma written by Bonnie U. Gruenberg and published by Synclitic Media LLC. This book was released on 2016-04-16 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tirades and threats. Hyperbole and deception. Changing landscapes and immutable opinions. Living traditions and dead animals. The conflicts that rage around the wild horses of the Atlantic coast can be loud, confusing, and downright vicious. Wild horses have lived on these barrier islands for hundreds of years, and many people would like to see them remain. Horse advocates and horse detractors alike turn to research to support their claims, but often reach different conclusions from the same information. Engaging the reader at every turn of the page, Bonnie Gruenberg frequently breaks new ground as she separates fact from myth and exposes the roots of issues for the reader to consider. She does not flinch from probing questions: Are these horses wild or feral? Native or exotic? Were Chincoteague Ponies used in bioweapons research? Did the U.S. Coast Guard patrol East Coast beaches with Western mustangs in WWII? How does the condition of lactating mares predict environmental health? She weaves a story of ancient origins and current events, hard science and fiery passion. The result is the most comprehensive and factual reference on the wild horses of the Atlantic coast.

Book excerpt: Keywords: Ocracoke, Outer Banks, Lighthouse, Blackbeard, shipwrecks, beaches, British Cemetery, Howard Street.2ND EDITION, ENHANCED WITH MORE PHOTOS, AUTHOR SIGNATURE.OCRACOKE, that magical name that refers to both island and village, has always meant something special. It may have been derived from a Native American word for ?enclosed place,? fitting for the village of Ocracoke is indeed an enclosed place on the island of Ocracoke, at least as much as possible on North Carolina's OUTER BANKS. It is tucked away from the Atlantic Ocean on the Pamlico Sound ? like a pearl. It is a vacation paradise. Ocracoke, though beautiful and often serene, has rarely been entirely safe. TREACHEROUS STORMS, PIRATES AND EVEN GERMAN SUBMARINES HAVE TAKEN DOWN SHIPS offshore and made the onshore lives of islanders uncertain. It was at Ocracoke that America's most famous pirate, the ruthless BLACKBEARD, met his end in a ferocious battle with naval authorities. The pirate was shot or wounded 25 times before finally dying of a throat slashing. There is, of course, a gentler side to Ocracoke, as well. The island is home to the iconic 1823 LIGHTHOUSE that is only 75 feet tall and a photographer's favorite. Here, too, are ferries full of visitors and throngs of bicycle riders, a legendary herd of once-wild PONIES and miles upon miles of nationally honored BEACHES, the charmingly unpaved HOWARD STREET and the poignantly serene BRITISH CEMETERY. Award-winning author Ray McAllister explores them all, then goes further in search of the soul of Ocracoke, discovering what it is that pulls visitors back year after year. Along the way, he teams with Dr. Stephen Leatherman, the world-famous Dr. Beach, to advance an audacious and compelling new proposal for the island. Ocracoke: The Pearl of the Outer Banks is a delightful look at what has made Ocracoke special ? and likely always will.

Download or read book Where Have All the Horses Gone? written by Jonathan V. Levin and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago, horses were ubiquitous in America. They plowed the fields, transported people and goods within and between cities and herded livestock. About a million of them were shipped overseas to serve in World War I. Equine related industries employed vast numbers of stable workers, farriers, wainwrights, harness makers and teamsters. Cities were ringed with fodder-producing farmland, and five-story stables occupied prime real estate in Manhattan. Then, in just a few decades, the horses vanished in a wave of emerging technologies. Those technologies fostered unprecedented economic growth, and with it a culture of recreation and leisure that opened a new place for the horse as an athletic teammate and social companion.

Download or read book NC 12 written by Dawson Carr and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-02-10 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connecting communities from Corolla in the north to Ocracoke Island in the south, scenic North Carolina Highway 12 binds together the fragile barrier islands that make up the Outer Banks. Throughout its lifetime, however, NC 12 has faced many challenges—from recurring storms and shifting sands to legal and political disputes—that have threatened this remarkable highway's very existence. Through the unique lens of the road's rich history, Dawson Carr tells the story of the Outer Banks as it has unfolded since a time when locals used oxcarts to pull provisions from harbors to their homes and the Wright Brothers struggled over mountainous dunes. Throughout, Carr captures the personal stories of those who have loved and lived on the Outer Banks. As Carr relates the importance of NC 12 and its transformation from a string of beach roads to a scenic byway joining miles of islands, he also chronicles the history of a region over the last eighty-five years, showing how the highway and the residents of the Outer Banks came to rely on each other.
