Product Description
California's Lighthouses: Standing Tall Through Time
When the Gold Rush drew thousands of ships to California, no lighthouses warned of the coast's perils, and scores were wrecked. California's Lighthouses documents the earliest California lights, and features histories and reminiscences of life at several light stations. Pairs of photographs of many lighthouses taken fifty years apart show time's effects on these sentinels of the coast.
Contents:
"The First West Coast Lighthouses" by Wayne Wheeler
"Some California Lighthouses Revisited" by Jan Mattson
"Pigeon Point" by JoAnn Semones
"The ‘Tidal Wave' That Hit L.A.: A Keeper's Story" by Jim Thompson
"‘New' Pt. Loma Lighthouse" by Karen Wagner Scanlon
"Growing Up at Pt. Loma Lighthouse" by Lexie Johnson
(2002) 8 1/2" x 11", 52 pages, 69 illustrations, notes
ISBN 0-944580-12-2 (paper)
