Last Ghost of Assateague

Until the 1920s, tiny Assateague Island had a prospering, small village located at the base of the lighthouse.  Approximately 130 people  lived in the village.  They made their living from the sea.  Mostly by harvesting and selling clams and oysters.  But a developer bought up most of the land on the Island and fenced off the village from the sea shore and Toms Cove.  Islanders could not longer make a living.  They abandoned Assateague Island a moved to Chincoteague.  This song is a tribute to Roy Jones.  He was the last person born on Assateague Island.  Mr. Jones recently passed away at the age of 101
