Edward Rowe Snow, author, lecturer and historian, was born in Winthrop, Mass.
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 thousands of newspaper articles, lectures, and tours of the area. With his wife Anna-Myrle, 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 an increase in lighthouse interest and preservation. Shown is Mr. Snow, wife Anna and daughter Dorothy readying packages for their well known yearly Christmas airdrops to remote lighthouses and Coast Guard stations.
