Delaware Lights: A History of Lighthouses in the First State
Bob Trapani Jr.

 The executive director of the American Lighthouse Foundation illuminates the history of twenty-seven Delaware beacons. Includes details of the lighthouses’ construction and changes through the years, and features dramatic tales of their keepers, who braved storms, isolation and poor conditions so that the lights would stay burning for those at sea.
