Chronicles of the Outer Banks: Fish Tales and Salty Gales - Paperback

by Sarah Downing (Author), Walker -. Outer Banks Milepost Magazine (Foreword by)

Did you know that escapees from an escargot farm keep the snail police on their toes?

The Outer Banks has a long history of unconventional characters and curious occurrences. A larger-than-life likeness of Sir Walter Raleigh was once beheaded in Manteo, and the town gave itself a royal makeover in honor of a visit from a princess. The village of Corolla was integral to the early years of the Space Race. Local author Sarah Downing shares these and many more offbeat tales.
