Abstract:

For the first half of the 20th-century, Salter Path, in Carteret County, was a quiet, peaceful fishing village. Many of the inhabitants were descendants of people forced to leave nearby Shackleford Banks after two powerful hurricanes. The same families occupied Salter Path for generations, including the Frosts, Smiths, Guthries, Willises, and Lewises. During the 1950s, Highway 58, the road through town, was paved. After that, motels, restaurants, and businesses sprang up, and tourism increased. Green explores the landmarks and people in the town's history.
