Sharpe, Bill

Abstract:

The state has started experimenting with laying asphalt on top of the sands on Hatteras Island. If the experiment at Whalebone withstands high tides and drifting sand, or can be reasonably maintained, then the road will be extended fifty miles down to the village of Hatteras. Sharpe describes the lives of the people on the island who now drive on the sand at certain times and how the coming road might affect them.
