Stars: 4
Review by: Mandy Apgar
A thin volume without much description at times (not due to
a fault of the author, but to having such variety in content that it
didn't have the time to dwell much on one topic). Big on content and
overall impact. Lovely photography, general history
of lighthouses, their purpose, why they were needed to shipping, how
they impacted culture and design even, etc. lots of various things are
included. It was very big on the sacrifices the keepers made and several
instances where they really crossed the line
to keep things going - the first several keepers in this area died in
the line of duty and once during a storm the wife of one was washed 2
miles out on an ice floe where she gave birth and was rescued by the
Coast Guard.
