A History of British Columbia's Lighthouses and Their Keepers
By Donald Graham. Here are tales of adventure on the sea, suffering and starvation on land, monstrous weather, hardships, insanity, and the happiness found by some tending the lighthouses from the sheltered stations on the Gulf Islands to stark, storm-swept Triple Island and Langara, on Alaska's doorstep. This great book full of frightening, funny and fascinating people and events is written by best-selling author Donald Graham who came west to become a BC lightkeeper in 1976. Having previously served as the Cultural Conservation Coordinator for the province of Saskatchewan, he went on to serve on Bonilla Island, Lucy Island and Point Atkinson. Softcover, 269 pages.
