There aren't that many books about Gulf Coast Lighthouses, especially the Western Gulf. This book covers all the lights that are still standing, gives a picture and directions to each one, as well as a short history. It also has some good history in the introductions to each section, and general maps. It isn't an encyclopedia, but a very nice coverage of its subject. I think it belongs in the library of anyone interested in Gulf Coast Lighthouses.
This is a very comprehensive collection of information about the lighthouses along the gulf coast. The photos are wonderful, the historical facts interesting and layout beautiful. And it includes directions to all the pictured lighthouses.
Read it cover to cover in a matter of a few days. Did not realize until I read about each of the lighthouses just how tough it was for the lighthouse keepers and their families, many perishing in violent hurricanes. They really put their lives on the line in a time before the age of technologically advanced weather reporting. This book not only gives the reader the location of the Gulf Coast lighthouses but also their historical significance.
Bruce Roberts and Ray Jones produce the best lighthouse travel guides available. This one is no exception.
