Salsi chronicles the history of one of the most important ports on the eastern seaboard in the 1700s and early 1800s. This volume presents the history of a little known place that was vastly important to the economy of the state of North Carolina from the time of settlement until the Civil War. It is a subject that everyone should know about. Those who read the book will want to plan an expedition to the place that is very difficult to reach. She even gives the directions and the appropriate telephone numbers to line up boat reservations. This is a magical book full of dazzling full-color and black and white photographs by Frances Eubanks. Mrs. Eubanks is a descendent of the original Salter family who lived on the island throughout its existence as a working village.
