Pine Knoll Shores By Michelle Powers She was described as a woman of contrasts and a New York City socialite who hobnobbed with European royalty and challenged Salter Path fishermen. She was raised in luxury, yet she yearned for the “primitive life.” She traveled around the world in sumptuous style but preferred the remote wilderness of Bogue Banks. Who was this woman who so captures our imagination and who plays such a prominent role in our life today in Pine Knoll Shores? Heiress Alice Green Hoffman purchased 2,000 acres on Bogue Banks in 1917 and changed the traditional way of life for the local inhabitants, setting in motion the eventual birth of a new Carteret County town—Pine Knoll Shores. At January’s meeting of the Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club, local author Kathleen Guthrie of Salter Path shared her unique perspective of Alice Hoffman as presented in her recently published book Alice Hoffman, Queen of Bogue Banks. The book is an adaptation of Ms. Guthrie’s 1994 ECU master’s thesis, which relied on prodigious research of primary sources, including 44 boxes of letters, bills, legal documents and memorabilia housed at ECU’s Joyner Library as well as first-hand accounts from Carteret County residents who knew Ms. Hoffman during the time she lived on Bogue Banks from 1938-1953. Alice Hoffman’s story is a complex one, filled with contradiction, intrigue, legal battles, bankruptcies, recklessness and adventure. Ms. Guthrie’s book views Alice in the context of the impact she had on the local inhabitants of Bogue Banks and the clash of cultures that occurred; Women’s Club members were fascinated by this account of an important figure in Pine Knoll Shores history from an author whose family and friends grappled with the changes that Ms. Hoffman brought to their community. Ms. Guthrie’s book is available at local booksellers, the History Museum of Carteret County or by contacting the author at 247-3536. Ms. Guthrie’s talk creates an excellent backdrop to the March 15 opening of a new exhibit at the History Museum entitled “Beach Town in a Forest—The Story of Pine Knoll Shores.” The exhibit is a collaboration between the Carteret County Historical Society and the Pine Knoll Shores History Committee, and includes a section on Alice Hoffman and her prominent role in the town’s development. Further reading about Ms. Hoffman can be found on the History Committee’s blog at pineknollhistory.blogspot.com, which includes a series of articles on specific aspects of Alice Hoffman’s life and times. A short business meeting followed the presentation. Club members were reminded of upcoming special events and Special Interest Group activities, including Cook’s Night Out, Supper Club and the three Women’s Club-sponsored book clubs. New members are encouraged to consider participating in the special interest groups, as they provide an excellent way to meet new people and become more involved in the community. The March 18 meeting of the club will feature a presentation by club member Susan Toms entitled Insights into Family, Culture and Love.” Meetings are held at the Pine Knoll Shores town hall, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Guests are always welcome.
