New England's lighthouses project more than lifesaving beams across treacherous expanses of water. They also project an aura of steadfastness, dependability, and safety--and deservedly so. This guide features descriptions and beautiful photographs of more than sixty lighthouses from Northern Maine to the Long Island Sound.

"New England is known to have one of the most rugged coastlines in the world. This book was developed to provide the reader a series of stories that encompass the brave men and women of New England who risked their lives at or near New England's lighthouses. These individuals were not only part of the lighthouse, lifesaving, and revenue cutter government services of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but also encompass a town's own citizens, local mariners, or a ship's captain and crew, who would also risk their lives alongside their government counterparts in helping those in distress."--Preface.
