Lighthouses embody the American spirit. They remind us of the brave
mariners who scanned the dark horizon in search of beacons and the
determination of those who kept their lights burning bright. Over
the last three centuries more than 1,600 lighthouses were built to
mark America's Atlantic, Gulf, Pacific, and Great Lake shores.
Today, more than half of them are gone. Some were bowled over by
storms, others were blasted by cannonballs, and still others were
replaced by more modern navigational facilities. Many of these
majestic towers simply grew old, crumbled, and collapsed. When a
light tower falls, an important link to our past is broken and a
chapter of the American story is forgotten. That is, unless we take
care to remember. This tribute to once bright lights provides rare
photographs, fascinating facts, and first-hand accounts of the rise
and fall of nearly 150 of America's most historic lost light
towers. (8 1/2 x 11', 176 pages, b&w photos)
