The Confederacy extinguished the lights in all the lighthouses it
controlled long before any shots were fired at Fort Sumter. When
the Southern Lights Went Dark: The Lighthouse Establishment During
the Civil War tells the story of the men who assumed the daunting
task of finding the lenses and lamps, repairing deliberate
destruction to the towers and lightships, and relighting them as
soon as the Navy could afford them protection. From Cape Hatteras
to Ocracoke Light, Jupiter Inlet to Tybee Island, St. Simons to
Cockspur Island and others, these are the stories from a unique era
in United States lighthouse history. Unlike in peace time, when
military officers filled the posts of engineer and inspector in
each lighthouse district, civilians had to be found who were not
only talented enough to build and maintain lighthouses, but also
could supervise a party of workmen and make decisions on their own.
Those men in the field had to find keepers, see that they were
paid, and ensure they had food, water, and essential supplies. The
Lighthouse Board was far away in Washington and could do little
more than give advice, order needed equipment, record the
dispatches from the field, and pay the bills it received. From Cape
Hatteras to Ocracoke Light, Jupiter Inlet to Tybee Island, St.
Simons to Cockspur Island and others, these are the stories from a
unique era in United States lighthouse history.
For decades, and in some cases centuries, individuals, families,
and friends of victims sought out ways to help heal the hurts
caused by sexual abuse and implement some way to protect against
future harms. The recent very public conversations about victims
standing up to perpetrators has expanded the reach and public
platform of sexual violence prevention efforts in critical ways.
What might appear a relatively simple task on the surface, to
define “healthy” and “harmful” sexual practices, inevitably
raises even more questions. When the questions and answers are
framed and defined through historical, cultural, social, and
individual lenses, solutions may seldom be simple. Structured in
five parts, Sex Crimes and Offenders: Exploring Questions of
Character and Culture uses healthy sexuality as a back drop for
exploring the complicated issue of identifying and punishing sex
crimes, defining the parameters of sexualized violence, and sexual
violence prevention. The goal is to prevent harm, address hurts,
hold perpetrators accountable, and eventually eliminate – to the
degree possible—all future harms. The information presented
explores individual treatment efforts, as well as the social and
political responses designed to hold perpetrators accountable and
help support victims. Essential resources made visible throughout
this text are provided to help inform young people, families, faith
communities and future practitioners, to raise important reflective
questions, and to serve as a resource for anyone of any age who has
suffered harm, or perpetrated harm, and is in need of support and
healing. Finally, the book concludes by shining a light on the
efforts each of us can take to identify, reduce, and work toward
eliminating sexual violence and harms.
