Abstract:
For the first half of the 20th-century, Salter Path, in Carteret County, was a quiet, peaceful fishing village. Many of the inhabitants were descendants of people forced to leave nearby Shackleford Banks after two powerful hurricanes. The same families occupied Salter Path for generations, including the Frosts, Smiths, Guthries, Willises, and Lewises. During the 1950s, Highway 58, the road through town, was paved. After that, motels, restaurants, and businesses sprang up, and tourism increased. Green explores the landmarks and people in the town's history.

Abstract:
Many smaller towns along North Carolina's coast are falling victim to spreading development and increasing tax rates. With commercial fishing declining and a high market value on property, many working-class people choose to sell in hopes of getting some financial security. When this happens, the old traditions that have existed in towns for over one hundred years slowly slip away. Salter Path in Carteret County is one example. The town is poised on the edge of exploding prices, modern development, and inevitable irreversible change. Morris discusses the work of Fielding Darden, who produced a CD and book in 2006, titled WILL THIS TOWN SURVIVE, and his activities to preserve the town's history.
