Description:"No, the (United States) Coast Guard was not invented along the shores of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. But if North Carolina did not invent coastal lifesaving, its citizens served to perfect the techniques of coastal lifesaving stations and were the saviors of many shipwrecked mariners. The name Midgett has stood out in the history books, giving each succeeding generation a giant of a legend to live up to. More than 150 living members of the Midgett family have made the Coast Guard a career (as of 1974). Seven men of the Midgett family have been awarded the nation's highest award for saving a life, the Gold Lifesaving Medal. Don Wharton, writing in the August, 1957 issue of "American Mercury", gave his opinion:..Most Midgetts are stocky, broad-shouldered, with fair complexions, usually blue or hazel eyes. Their speech has touches of Elizabethan English. No one knows where they came from, though it is generally believed that the first Midgetts on the Outer Banks were themselvesshipwrecked mariners.Court records show they have been on the Outer Banks 223 years (as of 1957)."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
