Roanoke Island, 1865 to 1940 special history study
Crumley BT. 2005. Roanoke Island, 1865 to 1940 special history study. NPS Special History Study. National Park Service, Department of the Interior
This study will focus on the history of Roanoke Island from the period of the Civil War until the Second World War. During this time frame, there were significant changes to the island’s life. However, an understanding of the physical setting of Roanoke Island itself combined with some aspects of its social, political, and economic development prior to the 1860s is an essential prerequisite to understanding the island’s later history. The first two chapters will lay the necessary foundation, making it easier for readers to understand the primary thrust of this report.
