Jennette, Buddy

Abstract:

Jennette interviewed his grandmothers, Mrs. Brittie Burrus and Mrs. Annie Stowe, for information on what life on Hatteras Island was like in the early days of the 20th-century. Without stores to depend on, islanders raised their own fruits, vegetables, and meat. Everyone made their quilts and clothes, and mail was delivered by boat.
