but I suspect nothing else, oh, there are two duplicate pages that need
deleting.
Lighthouse Tales
By Fredderick Stonehouse
From the Book Jacket:
Lighthouse Tales tells the story of the exciting human side of
lightkeeping. It describes the deadly storms, killing fogs and numbing
loneliness those who "kept the lights" endured.
Stories of wreck and rescue, death and sacrifice, all thread their way
through the pages of this remarkable tribute to the "wickies" of a bygone
era. The book speaks of the courage of the old time keepers and their
families, not just in rescuing shipwreck victims but also in the tenacity of
their daily lives.
Lighthouse Tales will appeal greatly to anyone interested in the wonders of
the Great Lakes, historians, sailors, lighthouse fanatics and people just
looking for a roaring good story.
The book is thoroughly illustrated with rare photographs.
Narratives include:
. The thrilling story of the steamer GEORGE W. PERKINS and it's close
encounter with Lansing Shoal Light during the height of the infamous 1940
Armistice Day storm.
Superior Shoal and the lighthouse that wasn't. The death of six brave Coast
Guardsmen at Oswego, New York in 1942.
. Poverty Island Light and the mysterious treasure.
. And many more thrilling tales of "keeping the lights!"

stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
