Book Description
"New England is known to have one of the most rugged coastlines in the world. This book was developed to provide the reader a series of stories that encompass the brave men and women of New England who risked their lives at or near New England's lighthouses. These individuals were not only part of the lighthouse, lifesaving, and revenue cutter government services of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but also encompass a town's own citizens, local mariners, or a ship's captain and crew, who would also risk their lives alongside their government counterparts in helping those in distress."--Preface.

Treating readers to a memorable cast of characters and "fascinating anecdotes" (New York Review of Books), Dolin shows how the story of the nation, from a regional backwater colony to global industrial power, can be illustrated through its lighthouses—from New England to the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Lakes, the Pacific Coast, and all the way to Alaska and Hawaii.
