DESCRIPTION - FIRE ON THE BEACH tells the story of the U.S. Life-Saving Service, formed in 1871 to assure the safe passage of American and international shipping and to save lives and salvage cargo. A century ago, the now-forgotten 'surfmen', in crews of seven, bore the brunt of this dangerous but vital duty. Station 17, located on the desolate beaches of Pea Island, North Carolina, housed one such unit, and Richard Etheridge - the only black man to lead a lifesaving crew - was its captain. A former slave and Civil War veteran, Etheridge recruited and trained a crew of African-Americans, forming the only all-black station in the nation. Although civilian attitudes toward Etheridge and his men ranged from curiosity to outrage, they figured among the most courageous surfmen in the service, performing many daring rescues. From 1880 to the closing of the station in 1947, the Pea Island crew saved scores of men, women, and children. In 1896, when the three-masted schooner E. S. Newman beached during a hurricane, Etheridge and his men accomplished one of the most daring rescues in the annals of the Life-Saving Service. The violent conditions had rendered their equipment useless. Undaunted, the surfmen swam out to the wreck, making nine trips in all, and saved the entire crew. This incredible feat went unrecognized until 1996, when the Coast Guard posthumously awarded the crew the Gold Life-Saving Medal. Full of exploits and heroics, FIRE ON THE BEACH illustrates yet another example of the little-known but outstanding contributions of a remarkable group of African-Americans to our country's history. inventory #29816 Some Foxing to Top Edge, Otherwise Very Good in Dustjacket.
