Abstract:

The residents of Portsmouth Island, Core Banks, and Shackleford Banks are long gone. Churches, houses, and graveyards stand silent. Hurricanes and dwindling jobs drove them away. Their descendants, though scattered among Carteret, Pamlico, Hyde, and Dare Counties, continue the old island traditions of Christmas. A number of them share their remembrances with Biro.
