Synopsis:
Wind, currents, tides, and sand. Kingsnakes and rice rats. The disappearance of the Lost Colony, the raids of the pirate Blackbeard, and the Wright brothers' first attempts at flight. The Outer Banks is a place like no other.
Review: This is a guidebook to be taken along when exploring this fragile place that deserves to be preserved.
