#046, Barbara Pardue, Northern Outer Banks History

Barbara Pardue is a local historian and runs a Facebook page called, Northern Outer Banks History. Her blood lines run deep on the Northern Outer Banks and her passion for the history is unmatched. She was first bitten by the history bug by a grandfather who shared numerous stories and this led to her own, personal research. She started the Facebook page to share this knowledge and research with her family. In this interview, Barbara shares stories of murder, gold bars, brothels, a Revolutionary hero, Blackbeard, the Ash Wednesday Storm, and more. Before we sat down and recorded, Barbara was nice enough to give me a quick tour of the area where she lives in Swan Beach. She showed me where the Currituck Inlet used to be, where the L.R. White Summer Hotel once stood, and where she lives when she’s in town. These places are located on private property so I was privileged to see them in-person. Funny side note: Before Barbara and I started the recording we were getting to know each other and we found out we both used to live in the same area of Prince George’s County in Maryland. As I was walking out of the restaurant the manager said he heard me talking about Prince George’s County and he told me he was from Bowie, which is also in PG County. I should mention we were the only three people in the restaurant when we showed up. And we’re all from PG County. What are the chances? Big thanks to Barbara Pardue for sitting down with me. You can find her on Facebook at Northern Outer Banks History.

#042, Charlie Beasley, Vietnam Vet, Commercial Fisherman

This is episode #042 with Charlie Beasley, the author of a book titled, Vietnam War: Lessons of a Lifetime. Charlie, who also goes by Robbie, was born and raised on the Outer Banks and is still a commercial crabber to this day. When Charlie grew up here the area was still very rural and undeveloped. He began commercial fishing at 11 years-old and went to school locally until college when he attended East Carolina University. After college Charlie served as an Airborne Ranger in Vietnam and was part of a 5-man team known as a LRRP, which stands for Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol. These small teams were designed to stealthily enter hostile territory, NOT engage the enemy, and bring back raw intel. Along with his combat stories of Vietnam you’ll receive plenty of crabbing information and stories of life on the Outer Banks. He's still a commercial crabber, fishing on the water almost every day. He has no immediate plans of retiring.

This show is about community, history, and adventure. And if you love the Outer Banks I think you’ll enjoy this podcast. On this show I talk to locals, historians, authors, business owners, and more.

If I can point you to a particular interview that I think you’ll find very interesting, please check out Episode #003 with Wykie Wise. Wykie’s story, growing up here in the 1950’s, is amazing. His memories of classic Outer Banks landmarks; like living in Nags Head Woods, attending the single room school house in Corolla, driving on Jockeys Ridge, and hanging out at the Nags Head casino, are incredible. Wykie was a wealth of information. You can find his story, and others, right here on the Treasures of the Outer Banks podcast. My name is John Van Lunen. Make it a good one.

#041, Scott Dawson- The Lost Colony and Hatteras Island

Scott Dawson is the author of, The Lost Colony and Hatteras Island. Scott was raised on Hatteras Island and calls it home to this day. Besides being an author of several books, he’s also a historian and amateur archaeologist. Having grown up on Hatteras Island, Scott Dawson saw artifacts and heard stories from his ancestors and friends regarding the Croatoan Indians. In his book he explains how Croatoan was a stand-alone island where Buxton, Frisco, and Hatteras are currently located. It was a stand-alone island because there was an inlet somewhere around the north side of Buxton. In his research, Scott Dawson cites multiple examples of evidence proving that the English who were left on Roanoke Island went to Croatoan and were assimilated in to the tribe with the help of their native friend, Manteo. The English had been to Croatoan two other times so they were familiar with the area and had created friendships with the Natives. Nobody was lost and there is no mystery. Besides written evidence the Croatoan Archaeology Society has performed several, successful digs on Hatteras Island, giving them physical proof that the colonists were here.
