5.0 out of 5 stars A suprisingly GREAT book, October 13, 2007

This review is from: Lighthouse Mysteries of the North Atlantic (New England's Collectible Classics) (Paperback)

I'm not from the East Coast, but I absolutely loved this book.
The book gathers together some of the most fascinating and unusual stories about the lighthouses of the North Atlantic, and then tells them in such an engaging way that I'm still thinking about many of the things I read in here, several years after reading them. From the viciousness of the early wreckers who would kill any survivors of shipwrecks and then take their belongings, to the insanely epic hurricane of 1938 that washed ships into trains, this book's every tale will hold your attention for certain.
Buy it, read it, and let it haunt you. If only all regional histories were this fascinating, or this well-written, surely Utopia wouldn't be far behind.
