Book Overview
Every night, from thirty-one points along Florida's thousand-mile coastline, fingers of light reach out through the darkness to guide the ships at sea. Kevin McCarthy has written the most complete guide available to Florida's lighthouses, each entry illustrated with a full-color reproduction of William Trotter's painting of the structure in its turn-of-the-century prime. Devoting several pages to the story of each of the state's lights, McCarthy has collected a remarkable variety of lighthouse legend, anecdote, and history.

An excellent summary of Florida's lighthouses
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
McCarthy's book on Florida's lighthouses is wonderfully thorough and marvelously concise. Each lighthouse merits a few solidly written pages of its history and lore, graced by dramatic William Trotter paintings of each light. Directions and maps conclude each chapter. This is a delightful work, easy to read and ready to use. Anyone journeying to Florida to see the state's 30 lighthouses should take along a copy of McCarthy's book. Among the growing number of lighthouse books, this one is well worth having on the shelf.
