Abstract:

When the National Park Service purchased the Core Banks barrier islands in the mid-1960s, it negotiated long-term leases with the residents that allowed them to keep their homes. In 2003, the leases expired, and the residents had to leave. Nickens discusses the history of the Core Bankers and the residents' departure.
