Outer Banks Tales to Remember

By Heidi Ayarbe

Nearly every time he visits the Outer Banks, the author hears a new tale or another version of an old one and gets "that itch" to write it down for everyone to enjoy. That itch produced the seventeen stories in this fourth volume. There are tales of Indians and trappers, ghosts and firebirds, sea horses and sand dollars, romance and heartache. Some of the stories tell of eerie and frightening events. Some chronicle the history of the coast and its early inhabitants. Others tease us with the promise of love and happiness, only to end in tragedy and despair. Still others explain the strange habits and appearances of local flora and fauna in ways far more intriguing than the scientists do.

Awesome book!

GREAT. YOU ALMOST WANT TO SHED TEARS ON EVERY PAGE

THE INFORMATION WAS PRICELESS. IT HURT MY SOUL AND BROUGHT ME TO TEARS TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO FOLLOW GOD WALK SO CASUALLY IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF SATAN. THE CRUELTY INFLICTED ON INNOCENT MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN WAS INCREDIBLE. ITS SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL DEPRAVITY OF THE EUROPEAN AND ARABIAN PEOPLE THAT THEY COULD ALLOW AND PARTICIPATE IN SUCH ATROCITIES. OUR CHILDREN AND CHILDREN ALL OVER THE EARTH MUST READ...

A Must Have

I bought this book based on the previous reviews and its better than I expected. The illustrations and graphics are excellent!

An Absolute Must Read

The book is part of an ongoing series that explores individuals and topics that unfortunately receive little or incorrect coverage by "mainstream" historians/books. This nation has never faced the fact that its economy was built by the slave trade. Equally, many of the so-called heroes of the nation were the ones who pushed hard to continue or expand the buying and selling of humans. And the ramifications still reverberate...
