Book Synopsis Assateague Island National Seashore, Maryland and Virginia by : William Hopkins Amos
Book excerpt: Assateague Island National Seashore lies off the coasts of Maryland and Virginia. Major attractions are seashore recreation, bird life, the wild ponies, diminutive Sika deer, surf fishing, and the nature of an Atlantic Coast barrier island itself. Part 1 of this handbook, published in support of National Park Service interpretation at the Seashore, gives a brief introduction to what you might expect to find in a leisurely visit to the area; Part 2 outlines the natural history of the barrier island and the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, and the behavior of the ponies; and Part 3 presents concise travel guide and reference materials.
