Summary
Ribbon of Sand is a rich and beautifully written exploration of the unique natural history and romantic past of the Outer Banks, a string of fragile barrier islands that stretch for more that a hundred miles down the North Carolina coast. First published in 1992, this new edition brings the Banks' story to the present-from the on-going excavation of what it is believed to be Blackbeard's ship, to the impending threat of oil drilling at Manteo Point, the authors reveal the controversies, natural wonders, and fascinating legends that make the Outer Banks one of North Carolina's most beloved treasures.
