Assateague

by William H. Wroten Jr.

Assateague is the northernmost one of the chain of barrier islands extending from about the southern boundary of Delaware to Cape Charles, Virginia, at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. This is the account of its discovery, its early inhabitants, its settlement, its recreational facilities, its natural history -- including its famous ponies, of unknown origin, which have roamed there since the late seventeenth century.
