Legendary Lighthouses: Volume II: 2 Book

Like the companion book to the first PBS Legendary Lighthouses series, this lavishly illustrated volume celebrates America's treasured coastal beacons and explores the nature of our love for them. From Honolulu to the Aleutian Islands from Galveston to Lake Erie, this book takes you to some of the most beautiful places in America and through the doors of beloved beacons that for generations have guarded our shores. Paralleling the second, all-new PBS series, Legendary Lighthouses, Volume II, continues the journey along the lighthouse trail, picking up where the first volume ended and completing the dramatic story of America's lights. Stunning color photographs, many taken during filming of the television series, offer glimpses of the spectacular locations of the lights. These images, together with heroic tales, unpredictable storms, dramatic stories of solitude, and colorful personalities, bring to life each lighthouse, each landscape, and all the history that makes these towers true American treasures.
