21412. Rourke, Juanita. UP THE SHORE: THE LIGHTHOUSE YEARS. Toronto. 2000. 264p. Soft wraps. Autographed by the author. Edited by Bonnie Rourke. Enter into the intriguing world of lightkeeping on the Great Lakes with this detailed account of a lightkeeper’s wife. Originally written as a weekly newspaper column, these true stories reflect the life that Juanita and Frank Rourke and their family shared at various lighthouses on Georgian Bay and Lake Huron between the years 1956-68, when Frank was the keeper there. These tales offer a fascinating account of the experiences of a family living this rugged life far from the comforts of community and friends. Wonderful day-to-day details that will appeal to all who have succumbed to the lure of lighthouse history. Well illustrated with vintage photographs. (VG). $28.95.
