A hundred years after their deaths, meet keepers who still keep the lights burning. Meet their spurned lovers, who moan and wail; wronged wives, who play pianos; bereaved mothers, who still search for their children; and devoted housewives, who still lend a hand with the cleaning chores--all long-since passed away, at least from this realm. Travel 'round the borders of this great country, visiting the remote lighthouses of the two great oceans, and along the shores of the Great Lakes. Learn the grisly tales of disastrous deaths and unsolved murders, lost loves, and hurrendous storms. A wonderful read for all who love lighthouses or goosebump adventures.

Ms. Lanigan-Schmidt is a member of Lighthouse Preservation Societies, with an interest and involvement in their history. She speaks and educates others on their history and lore.
A lifelong love of history in general lead her to her fascination with lighthouses when she and her husband moved to Fire Island, off of the coast of New York.
In this book, Ms. Lanigan-Schmidt tells of not only New York lighthouses, however. She takes us to lighthouses throughout New England, along the Atlantic East Coast, Southern U.S. lighthouses, along the Pacific West Coast, and throughout the Great Lakes.
In addition to each story, there are details of its history, location, and contact information. The book is well researched and fascinating. (
