From the Graveyard of the Atlantic to beautiful Hilton Head Island grand apparitions are here–dedicated keepers haunt this fabled coast, still on duty years after they passed on.

Within this well-researched booklet, you will find a unique map, beautiful color photographs, intriguing facts, and directions to the North Carolina Lighthouses.

Eyewitness accounts, dramatic rescues, storms, shipwrecks, and heroes are here.

The story of Sequoyah is the tale of an ordinary man with an extraordinary idea—to create a writing system for the Cherokee indians and turn his people into a nation of readers and writers. The task he set for himself was daunting. Sequoyah knew no English and had no idea how to capture speech on paper. But slowly, and painstakingly, ignoring the hoots and jibes of his neighbors and friends, he worked out a system that surprised the Cherokee—and the world of the 1820s—with its beauty and simplicity. SEQUOYAH is a poem to celebrate literacy, a song of a people's struggle to stand tall and proud..
