The Lost Colony, Indians, Blackbeard, an albino porpoise that guided ships into harbor--the tales in that volume form the core of Outer Banks folklore. Whedbee liked to tell people that his stories were of three kinds: those he knew to be true, those he believed to be true, and those he fabricated. But despite much prodding, he never revealed which were which. Legends of the Outer Banks went through three printings in 1966, its first year. Demand for Whedbee\'s tales and the author\'s supply of good material were such that further volumes were inevitable. The F
