In the 1980s, The Nature Conservancy began work on the fast-growing Outer Banks by protecting Nags Head Woods, one of the last intact maritime forests on the East Coast that was in danger of becoming a housing development. Based on oral histories, this book documents the social and cultural history of a community that worked the land and waters of this unique place.
