Blue Sky, Black Water: A Collection of Stories from the Carolina Coast

Ten student writers from the Honors College at the University of North Carolina Wilmington came together to produce a collection of historical stories set along the Carolina Coast. Their stories range from the trial of an incompetent pirate, who met his fate in 1718, to the adventure of a group of teenagers, who take a big risk in 1960. Between those tales, we have stories from the Civil War, the 1920s, and World War II. Together, they provide a portrait of this coastal region that covers 200 years.
