A so-so book – I probably won’t buy it. (I checked it out from the library). It has a few lighthouses not mentioned in other sources, but the organization of the book is so wacky as to make it really cumbersome to use (alphabetical for half of the book, then geographical).
A fairly nice book – covers all of New York State.
Pros:
Cons:
I’ll be adding more to this review as I use it more. Overall, I think it is a useful addition to the bookshelf.
My primary source for this list is Lighthouses of New York, by Bruce Roberts and Ray Jones, unless otherwise noted. However, this will be supplemented by other souces since their book contains a number of “holes” (moreso in terms of the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence lighthouses than the Hudson ones, as it turns out). Lighthouses with links are ones that I have visited and have made a page about.
Georgeous pictures, and very complete and well organized. A bit iffy on “how to get there” for the most part, but it at least gives you a ballpark.
All in all, a good edition to the library. 🙂 I’ll post a more complete review as I use it some more.
My primary source for this list is Sentinels in the Stream: Lighthouses of the St. Lawrence River, by George Fischer and Claude Bouchard, unless otherwise noted. I am using their ordering system, unless it seems logical to deviate from that. In addition, lighthouses that they miss are added in as needed. Lighthouses with links are ones that I have visited and have made a page about.
Apostle Island Lighthouses – located within Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Camping is available on all islands except Long Island and Raspberry Island.
You can also become the lightkeeper at several Apostle Islands lighthouses for the week or for the summer.
