Summary: A Concise and Pictoral History
Comment: Living on the east coast, I guess I always assumed that lighthouses were only built along the ocean coasts. This book corrected that impression as it featured lighthouses throughout the United States in places such as Michigan, Ohio, and the Hudson River area.

The authors/photographers showed endangered lighthouses, ruined ones, and some that have been restored. Time, tide, and erosion have wreaked terrible damage upon these buildings.

I found the concise history of each of the featured lighthouses to be very interesting and informative. The photos were wonderful, especially the ones of the moving of the Hatteras Light in North Carolina.

This book provides a good reminder of how important these structures were to the American way of life, and for this reason, why they should be preserved or rescued.
