Sommario/riassunto |
|
Blending history, oral history, autobiography, and travel narrative, this book explores the geography and biodiversity of the islands that lie in eastern North Carolina's sounds, rivers, and swamps. It examines the natural and human history of the region, and presents a reportage on territory often bypassed by tourists and scholars alike. |
