This study is a narrative history about the creation and
establishment of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, the major
characters involved, and the key decisions they made.4 It follows a
straightforward historical methodology. Park documents likely to
provide factual information or to shed light on important events
have been reviewed and presented in a chronological fashion. Where
appropriate, the chronology is subdivided by topic as represented
by various chapter and section headings. This method makes the
document both easier to read and to reference. Major sources of
information include park annual reports, official NPS
correspondence relating to the park, newspaper clippings, and oral
history interviews. Various NPS studies and publications are also
used. All sources are carefully cited by notes. Where bias is
obvious or points of view differ, sources are weighed against each
other. The author's intent is to minimize speculation and to let
the record speak for itself, although inferences and conclusions
are stated where appropriate.
