New England Lighthouses and the People That Kept Them

Everyone knows there's "something about lighthouses" that gives them broad appeal, but their role in our history and culture is little appreciated. Our early nation was built on maritime economy, and lighthouses were part of the system that made that possible. Our presenter tonight is Jeremy D"Entremont who has written more that 20 books and hundreds of articals on lighthouse history topics.He is the offical historian of the American Lighthouse Foundation and the founder of the Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouses.
