I live on Bogue Banks, an island off the mainland of
the United States, separated from the mainland by Bogue Sound. The separation
is not a vast distance, a mile or two at best, but until the first bridge was
opened in 1928. a boat was needed to make the crossing. This crossing is
characteristic of the nature of travel in eastern Carolina, a characteristic
that has defined its development for centuries. This part of eastern North
Carolina is not an easy place to get to.
