What is the setting of Outer Banks Mysteries and Seaside Stories by Charles Harry Whedbee?

The Outer Banks is a coastal area of North Carolina. Its people have a distinctly wild and independent nature. They pride themselves in being descended from some of the first Americans to rebel against British rule. In many of the stories, there are influences of genteel European culture surrounded by vast stretches of wilderness and Indian territory. As the narrator describes the town of Bath, "The town itself was an oasis of culture in the New World, and the countryside roundabout was inhabited by prosperous plantation owners, as well as by a variety of wild beasts and usually friendly Indians." (11. The Core Point Ghosts, p. 101) The setting changes somewhat depending on the historical era being described.
