NOTES

The Waugoshance Lighthouse was the first offshore lighthouse on the Great Lakes and it has been left abandoned for decades. This is the story of one man's fictional visit to this historic beacon to shine a light from the tower one last time before it crumbles into Lake Michigan. Through the challenges of living one more day in isolation at the forgotten lighthouse the history of Great Lakes Lighthouses comes to life. Woven throughout the story are true tales of the men and women who worked at these historic beacons keeping the light on to guide sailors. It also contains the history of lighthouse on the Great Lakes and how the light mechanism and fog signals worked long before electricity became available. If you love lighthouses, or a good adventure story, you will enjoy reading this book
