This article details the life of Alice Green Hoffman, an activist in the women’s suffrage movement, in the Outer Banks. Hoffman was born in New York City but moved to Carteret County in 1918. She sought to protect wildlife on her property ‘Isle of Pines’ in Bogue Banks and, following her death, the land was left to Eleanor Roosevelt, daughter-in-law of President Teddy Roosevelt. In 1956, Roosevelt’s heirs developed the land into Pine Knoll Shores.

Abstract:
A number of small villages on the outer banks were present during the 19th century including Rice Path, Yellow Hill, Bell Cove, and Bill’s Point. These communities—named for landscape features, community members, and historic events—lived an isolated existence. Their subsistence relied on local resources and many livelihoods revolved around fishing and agriculture.

Abstract:
This article discusses daily life in Bogue Banks during the late 19th century. The author uses examples from her childhood to address local construction practices, food preparation, agriculture, and daily life. The theme of community and family is evident throughout the narrative and the author often depicts a self-reliant life on the Outer Banks. As local infrastructure improved, small communities usually gained a Church first followed by a school house. After the turn of the century, fishing became a predominant source of income in Salter Path for consumption in Morehead City. The narrative ends with a description of changing life in the 1920s.

Abstract:
In early January 1918, a snow storm passed through the Outer Banks, bringing plummeting temperatures. In turn, Bogue Sound froze over for the first time in remembered history. A slab of ice three inches thick covered the water and the boats. A local resident recalled that the ice was thick enough to cross the sound over to Bogue Banks. Several families did push their skiffs across, in case of ice breakage. Another group of residents was stranded in their boat out on the frozen water. They eventually abandoned the vessel and successfully crossed the ice. While low temperatures still occur, there has not been another big freeze of Sound waters since 1918.
