Seeing the light: lighthouses of the western Great Lakes
Broken link
Terry Pepper has assembled a rich history, gallery and gazetteer of this remarkable collection of inland lighthouses.
These sentinels and their dedicated keepers performed a critical service to mariners. With the survival of some these majestic beacons in question, it is our intent to tell their story as accurately as possible, in the hope that increased understanding of their purpose and rich history will help assure their survival for future generations to enjoy as much as we have. — Terry Pepper [from the website].
