7209s. Shelton-Roberts, Cheryl. LIGHTHOUSE
FAMILIES. 2006. 210p. Soft cover. Living in a lighthouse was a way of
life for the families of more than 5000 keepers and employees of the United
States Lighthouse Service. These quiet people faithfully manned their remote
outposts and withstood enemy attacks, hurricanes, and dishonest bureaucrats
while saving countless thousands of lives. These men, women and children daily
experienced physical hardship, round-the-clock work, isolation, and danger - and
the strong bond of family. Though the Lighthouse Service no longer exists, many
of the children who grew up at these stations do and their stories are preserved
for the first time in this remarkable book. Family tales from Pigeon Point
California, St. Augustine Florida, Saddleback Ledge Maine, Old Mackinac Point
Michigan, Morris Island South Carolina and many more. Illustrated with over 100
family vintage photographs and a beautiful full color photo of the light as it
appears today. This is a book that you won’t want to put down. (M). Published
at $14.95. Our price $9.95.

& white photographs. Well done, most interesting lighthouse history. (M).

Clary, Margie Willis and Kim McDermott. South Carolina
Lighthouses.
Arcadia
Publishing. 2008. 128 p. Soft wraps. 200 vintage photographs. Boasting one of
the oldest lighthouses in North America and the most working lighthouses today,
South Carolina
has a long seafaring history. In 1767, the Morris Island Lighthouse was built
at the entrance to
Charleston
Harbor
, and before 1860, there were lighthouses in
Georgetown
,
Cape
Romain
, Bull’s Bay, and
Hunting
Island
. During the Civil War, all lighthouses on the eastern coast were darkened. Many
were destroyed. After the war, towers that had been damaged were repaired, and
additional lights were erected on Daufuskie and
Hilton
Head
Islands
. In 1962, the new Charleston Light on Sullivan’s
Island
replaced the Morris Island Lighthouse, which was suffering from erosion by the
ever-encroaching sea. The new light contained an elevator and two rotating
beacons capable of producing 28 million candlepower, a light that can be seen 26
miles out to sea. At that time, it was considered one of the most powerful
lights in the
Western Hemisphere
. Another in the series from
Arcadia
, this volume draws from public and private collections, most never before
published. Superb photographs, well worth it. (M). $19.99.
