"The Education of an Island Boy" Joel G. Hancock: July 2015

Horse Penning at Shackleford Banks in the 1950s

Harkers Island people and stories, as told to and by one of them.

"All the summer world was bright and fresh, and brimming with life . . . the sun rose upon a tranquil world, and beamed down upon the peaceful village like a benediction.” Mark Twain - Tom Sawyer

For the last ten years or so I have been compiling a list of stories --- some sublime, and some ridiculous, and some in-between --- about the Island I grew up on. It remains my hope to arrange them into a coherent narrative that will convey some of what it was like to be a small part of a special place at a special time.
