Reissue of one of Edward Rowe Snow's most enduring classics. First
published in 1945, it relates the histories of over fifty of the
region's lighthouses in rich detail. Snow gives special emphasis to the
story of heroine Abbie Burgess at Maine's Matinicus Rock Light, to the
rich histories of Boston Light and Minot's Ledge Light. Modern day
lighthouse expert Jeremy D'Entremont has provided extensive annotations
to Snow's chapters, bringing the information about each lighthouse up to
date.
