UNCLE JACK’S OUTER BANKS.
LONG THE FUNNEST, AND SAVVIEST, commentator on North Carolina’s beloved Outer Banks, “Uncle Jack” Sandberg is back with the ultimate collection of hilarious — and on-the-mark — observations, supplemented by the work on great cartoonists. Sandberg dispenses stories, advice, criticism, annoyance, warnings, insight, and always laughs, about this narrow strand of islands that has become one of America’s premier vacationlands. From Corolla to Hatteras Island, with stops at Manteo, his beloved South Nags Head, and all spots in-between, Uncle Jack does indeed own the Outer Banks.
UNCLE JACK’S OUTER BANKS: The Ultimate Collection, is available up and down the Outer Banks and from online sellers. With 69 essays and 22 cartoons, this is the perfect gift or memento for anyone who loves the Outer Banks. Or who just likes to laugh. It is, as Uncle Jack says, “a pretty funny book.”
HATTERAS ISLAND: KEEPER OF THE OUTER BANKS
HATTERAS may have been the destination of the Lost Colony. Blackbeard likely hobnobbed with the locals. The Monitor went to its watery grave nearby. Radio towers here made history’s first transmission of music and received the Titanic’s distress call. Bodies washed up on the beach following U-boat attacks during World War II. The surfmen of the island’s lifesaving stations made heroic rescues ever. And the coastal icon, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, has stood watch.
But HATTERAS ISLAND is more than a history. It is, award-winning coastal Author Ray McAllister says, “a conversation with an island.” It tells of a vacation paradise that can change instantly into a storm center, of a resort island kept largely free of development — but hardly of controversy — by a national seashore park. It tells of the hardy few who brave the Hatteras winters, those who come to catch record-sized fish from the piers, those who travel disaster-prone Highway 12 and who drove the bare sand before it, those who stood and watched as a 208-foot lighthouse was moved half a mile.
“Pull up a chair,” McAllister says. “Have a listen.”
