- na. HATTERAS KEEPERS ORAL AND FAMILY HISTORIES, edited by Cheryl Shelton-Roberts with Family History Research by Sandra MacLean Clunies. 2001. 134p. Soft wraps. The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Keepers Descendants Homecoming was held over the weekend of May 4 – 6, 2001. The invitational program featured a number of heritage workshops/classes for the children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, the direct descendents of the keepers who kept the light burning at the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. To commemorate this event, the authors have produced this wonderful new book, Hatteras Keepers Oral and Family Histories. The cover is in full color and inside there are 150 pages about family life at Cape Hatteras and other area lights. The book is a unique blend of oral histories and genealogy which presents a portrait of Cape Hatteras keepers spanning well over a century. There are sixteen in-depth chapters on individual keepers and their keeper-ancestry. The book also includes a chapter on Diamond Shoals, medical resources for the keepers’ families, and three charts that tie the stewardship of this lighthouse to approximately eight core families. There is also information on the Hatteras Island Historical and Genealogical Society who has striven to preserve the history of Hatteras Island and its people. Through approximately 150 wonderful early images, we are allowed the opportunity to look into the families’ personal photograph albums and to see time march across the pages in an era of horse and carts and no electricity. This is a superb look into the life at such stations and will be a joy to read and look through. Only a limited number of books are available and this book will not be carried in most catalogues or stores. (M). $19.95.
