Join us at COA - Dare Campus as we continue our joint speaker series for the 2025-2026 academic year with author Jeffrey Reaser. This is a partnership between Downtown Books, College of the Albemarle and the Friends of the Outer Banks History Center.
Jeffrey Reaser, Walt Wolfram, and Candy Gaskill have produced the most comprehensive linguistic look at Ocracoke yet. Building on the legacy of Hoi Toide, this book includes 120 new interviews with Ocracokers, documenting their evolving language and culture. With this prolonged and comprehensive approach to the region, the authors document the island’s changes, providing readers with a deeply researched, empathetic, and engagingly written snapshot of one of North Carolina’s most cherished places, one with a linguistic heritage worth celebrating.
