Edward Rowe Snow, author,
lecturer and historian, was born in Winthrop, Mass. and spent most of his
life studying the lighthouses, islands, and legends of the New England
coast. Mr. Snow has been credited with over 150 books and pamphlets as
well as tens of thousands of newspaper articles, lectures, and tours of the area. With his
beloved wife
Anna-Myrle and daughter Dorothy, Mr. Snow made hundreds of visits to light stations throughout
New England. The Snows considered the light keepers and their families to
be extensions of their own family, and the feelings were mutual. Today,
many consider Mr. Snow’s interesting and readable accounts of life at
these stations to have been the impetus launching today's increase in
lighthouse interest and preservation. Shown is Mr. Snow doing one of his
many radio broadcasts.
