To follow the course of the Ocean Highway along the shore of the Atlantic New Jersey to Florida is like taking a living course in American history. You will journey through romantic legend-haunted regions like the Dismal Swamp (V.A. and N.C.); past such historical spots as Tangier Island, still guarding its ancient independence as it did in the War of 1812. You will pass the Georgia scene of Julia Peterkin's novel "Black Skin" and "Scarlet Sister Mary"; and the house which was the setting for George Alfred Townsend's story of antebellum days in Maryland, "The Entailed Hat". From the road across Butler's Island you can see the house where Fanny Kemble, the English actress, kept her unhappy diary as the wife of Pierce Butler. Also contains an excerpt from one of the earliest descriptions of the North Carolina coast by an English person
