Abstract:
Walter Abner Gibbs endeavored to make a fortune by breeding, raising, and skinning muskrats. He purchased 3,000 acres of marshes along the Currituck County coast to expand his pelt business which already included a 700 acre farm in Maryland. Muskrat pelts used to make Hudson Seal fur coats brought $2 a pelt in 1938.
