Into the Sound
Country
A Carolinian's Coastal Plain
Photography by Ann Cary Simpson
by Bland Simpson
"Simpson is clearly a talented writer, and many of the sections about the coastal plain's natural areas contain beautiful passages. . . . Like coffee and beer, the sound country, with its jumbled forests and sulfurous waters, is something for which you
have to develop a taste. Most people never bother. Together the Simpsons succeed in showing us why the region is worth taking some adventurous sips."--Raleigh News and Observer
I love reading this book. It captures the sights and sounds and smells of the North Carolina coast better than any book I've ever read.--Pat Conroy, author of The Prince of Tides

The Outer Banks
of North Carolina, 1584-1958
by David Stick
"[Stick's] easy narrative style makes the book pleasant and at times exciting reading."--New York Herald Tribune Book Review
David Stick has lived on the outer Banks since he was nine years old and is now the most prominent historian of the area. In this book he tells the fascinating story of the Banks and Bankers; of whalers, stockmen, lifesavers, wreckers, boatmen, and fis
hermen; 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.
