20301. Wheeler, Wayne [United States Lighthouse Society]. CALIFORNIA LIGHTHOUSE LIFE IN THE 1920’S AND 1930’S. Arcadia. 2000. 128p. 200 vintage photographs. Published as part of the Images of America series by Arcadia Publishing. This is a photographic history of the lighthouses of California’s South Coast, San Francisco Bay, and the North Coast, as well as lightships and support facilities. This compact volume features over 200 never before published early photographs dating from the 1929 through 1932, drawn mainly from the collection of former Lighthouse Service employee Irving Conklin. The book depicts lighthouse life in a quieter era – a time when our keepers were thankful to have secure employment and when they kept the lights burning to protect the continual parade of vessels plying the waters along California’s rugged coastline. As you would expect from this well known author and historian, well researched and beautifully arranged, a feast for the eyes. (M) 21.99.
