1530. D’Entremont, Jeremy. Lovers’ Light: The History of Minot’s Ledge Lighthouse. 2015. Coastlore Media. 121p. Soft wraps. Minot’s Ledge Lighthouse, off Boston’s South Shore near the towns of Cohasset and Scituate, has a fascinating history replete with heroism, tragedy, and triumph. Widely known as the “I Love You Light” after its famous 1-4-3 flash characteristic, it has sparked the imaginations of lighthouse lovers around the world. The present (1860) tower is one of the classic examples of a granite wave-swept lighthouse and has withstood the battering of countless storms. It stands today as a testament to its designers and builders and as a monument to the brave keepers who stood watch for nearly a century. This new book brings together a variety of source documents, including correspondence, government documents, log entries, interviews with keepers, and much more to help paint an historic portrait of one of the world’s most dramatic lighthouses. Well illustrated with photos, engravings and illustrations. (M). $12.95.
