Overview

This book takes readers on an historical tour of the 312 lighthouses of Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, and to a lesser degree Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Many of these remain active today and still play a crucial role in guiding ships. Readers will learn the history of such popular lighthouses as Split Rock, Raspberry Island Light, Gibraltar Point Light, the Mistaken Lighthouse of Michigan Island, Marquette Harbour Light, and Marblehead Light. Berger's lively stories about lighthouse keepers and their families, horrific storms, and even encounters with ghosts, round out the narrative, which is complemented by outstanding four-color photographs of lighthouses, interiors, and lenses. Also includes a bibliography and an appendix that lists all lighthouses.
