Abstract:

Located on Bogue Banks and founded in 1918, the village of Salter Path was originally owned by Mrs. Alice Hoffman. Sharing the island with a group of squatters entitled to live there by, \"the right of adverse possession,\" Hoffman and the 325 squatters are part of a diverse history of the island that includes whaling and fishing.
