Duck [electronic resource] : An Outer Banks Village / Judith D. Mercier.
Part personal essay, part oral history, Duck: An Outer Banks Village is the lyrically told story of an unforgettable place. Built on a spit of shifting sand barely a half-mile wide, highly subject to the wind and the sea, the village has always placed unusual demands on those who would live here. Duck old-timers had to be hunters, fishermen, farmers, and "wreckers"-all at the same time. Author Judith D. Mercier captures both the village's glory days-when shooting six hundred ducks constituted merely an average day for a market hunter-and its forgotten moments-like one man's heroic attempt to create an African-American beach resort during the Jim Crow years. What emerges is a portrait of a community-or, in the words of the locals, a neighborhood-seeking to preserve its past as it tackles the future.
