Pamlico & Albemarle is a small publisher located in the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina. We were created from a love of the spirit of Blackbeard the pirate, who wandered these fabled waters, and the history of life here at the edge of the world. In addition to our premiere work of historic fiction, we offer non-fiction titles exploring northeastern North Carolina, from days of yore to the present.

THATCHER:
The unauthorized biography of blackbeard the pirate



Our flagship publication, this epic adventure trilogy tells the tale that has never been told - the entire larger than life story of the most notorious pirate of all time, unveiling the mystery of his birth and documenting his astounding adventures. If the situations and scenarios presented in this narrative are not entirely true ... They should be.



a house in the albemarle:
english settlers, quakers and the 1730 newbold-white house



Situated on the serene banks of the Perquimans River in northeastern North Carolina, the 1730 Newbold-White House is the oldest brick home in the state. Painstakingly restored and furnished, the site provides visitors with an authentic view of life in 18th century colonial America. Written by volunteers working with the Perquimans County Restoration Association, A House in the Albemarle explores the history of this unique structure and its people, including its restoration, archeology, and family genealogy, as well as tales of the re-creation and adventures of Periauger, a boat used by the original owners of the house.



crossing the inland sea
350 years of
albemarle maritime history



North Carolina's Albemarle region has a history deeply tied to its waterways. In colonial times, water provided the most efficient means of transportation. By the 19th century, transportation by boat was integral to the area's economy. Crossing The Inland Sea explores this bygone era - and looks toward the future. Northeastern North Carolina's sounds, rivers and ocean continue to offer opportunities for commerce, even as much maritime activity today consists of recreation and tourism. By looking to the past, we may find ways to invigorate the prospects of this enchanting land.



north carolina's
blacklands treasure



Bounded by the Albemarle Sound on the north and the Pamlico Sound on the south, the Blacklands of Northeastern North Carolina boast some of the most productive agricultural soils in the nation. But throughout much of its history, this region - filled with murky swamps and impenetrable wilderness - has defeated many an adventurer trying to tame it. North Carolina's Blacklands Treasure tells the story of the determined, steadfast and downright stubborn pioneers who turned this seeming wasteland into a bountiful breadbasket.



BEECHLAND AND THE LOST COLONY



In 1587, one hundred seventeen men, women and children simply disappeared and became known as The Lost Colony. Significant evidence - original accounts, native alliances, oral histories, naming patterns, archeological remnants and reanalysis of early maps - suggests that they intentionally relocated inland to Beechland, a protected sassafras site about fifty miles into the mainland. Even so, without a significant on-site archeological investigation, Sir Walter Ralegh's attempt to settle Virginia remains one of the greatest mysteries of early American history.
