21430. Wright, David & David Zoby. FIRE ON THE BEACH – Recovering the Lost Story of Richard Etheridge and the Pea Island Lifesavers. New York . 2000. 335p. DJ. Fire on the Beach recovers a lost gem of American history, telling the story of the US Life-Saving Service and particularly the true-life story of the early Life-Saving Service and Coast Guard and one crew of African-American life-savers who fought storms and saved lives off North Carolina ’s Outer Banks. This historic account of the Pea Island surfmen and their keeper leaves nothing to the imagination as the authors chronicle their lives and work on the outer beach. Magnificent detail of their daily lives and of numerous rescues that they performed. Surely one of the best on the subject and great reading. (M). Hard cover DJ $26. Soft cover $16.95.
