11494. Wallace, David H. Little Kinnakeet Life-Saving Station (1874-1915)/Coast Guard Station (1915-1954), Cape Hatteras National Seashore, North Carolina – Historic Furnishings Report. National Park Service. Harpers Ferry. 1987. 143p. Soft wraps. Little Kinnakeet Lifesaving Station is an excellent reminder of the stations constructed by the U.S. Lifesaving Service (U.S.L.S.S.) during its 44-year existence (1871-1915). The original station building was among the first seven constructed on North Carolina’s treacherous Outer Banks in 1874. A larger building was added in 1904, and the site remained active under the U.S. Coast Guard until 1954, when it was decommissioned and transferred to the National Park Service as a part of Cape Hatteras National Seashore. It still stands among the windblown sands of Hatteras Island, untouched by development and a poignant monument to the lifesavers it once housed. Thoroughly illustrated. Detailed report describes all property items issued to and used at the life-saving station. Report is extensively researched and details all items issued to the station with a great deal of information about each, and then presents an interpretive plan for the current museum with recommended artifacts to properly convey the life and work of the life-savers. Thoroughly documented with plans, illustrations and reports. Superb information. (M). $66.
