26323. Trapani , Robert Jr. DELAWARE LIGHTS – A History of Lighthouses in the First State . History Press. 2007. 160 p. Soft wraps. In Delaware Lights, this noted author recounts the stories of twenty-seven beacons from the lost Cape Henlopen Light Station, completed in 1767, to the Marcus Hook Range Rear Light Station, constructed in 1920. He not only discusses their construction and the changes they have undergone, but also tells dramatic tales of their keepers, who sometimes braved storms, isolation and poor conditions so that the lights would stay burning for those at sea. Trapani also brings Delaware ’s lighthouse history full circle by conveying to the reader that though these guiding beacons are now automated and aging, the lights are hardly finished making history here in the 21st century.
