Abstract:
Pittard discusses the life and work of David Stick, who is the leading authority on the people and events that shaped the Outer Banks over the last four hundred years. The author of a dozen books and numerous articles, Stick donated his personal library and archives to the North Carolina Office of Archives and History in 1986, to be maintained as a public research center. Located in Manteo, the Outer Banks History Center opened to the public in 1989.
