Download or read book Florida Lighthouses written by John Hairr and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sporting the second-longest coastline in the United States, Florida has over 8,000 miles of sparkling beaches and waterfront property. This valuable landscape and the region's position between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico made Florida key in the early expansion of American trade routes, but the state's several capes and dangerous reefs, rocks, and shoals made travel quite perilous to unwary mariners. When commerce and traffic began to grow between ports on the East Coast and along the Gulf of Mexico in the nineteenth century, it became necessary to construct aids to navigation along the state's long and treacherous coast. Lighthouses were the solution. Constructed in a variety of styles and sizes, Florida's lighthouses were erected on what, at the time, were some of the most desolate regions of the southeastern United States and included lonely offshore islands. Manned and inhabited by vigilant keepers and their families, these towers illuminated the dark seas and provided the beacon that guided lost travelers. Large brick structures watched over St. Augustine, Pensacola, and Ponce de Leon Inlet; iron skeletons towered over Crooked River and Hillsboro Inlet; and screwpile lighthouses stood as sentinels in the waters off the Florida Keys.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the maritime and human history of Florida's 30 awe-inspiring lighthouses along the East Coast, through the Keys, and up the west coast to the Panhandle. Both modern color and historical black-and-white photographs, as well as postcards and diagrams, illustrate their role in the settlement of not only Florida, but all of America. Florida's shores have been witness to over five centuries of maritime history, including battles in the Revolutionary War, the Seminole Wars, the Civil War, and World War II. Diving into the lives of the keepers of these beacons, the Tuerses describe how the lighthouse keepers navigated not only these political conflicts, but nature's wrath, braving hurricanes and wild storms to keep the lights burning. This meticulously researched book covers the technical--such as the engineering behind the design of the towers and lenses--as well as the personal, including stories of widowed women balancing raising a family with tending the lighthouse.

Book excerpt: The Florida Keys possess a staggering wealth of lighthouses--nine in all, from the remote iron light at Fowey Rocks to classic brick structures at Key West and Loggerhead Key. In the 1820s, the US government began constructing lighthouses to aid mariners navigating the dangerous Florida Reef. While some of the original lights were subsequently destroyed in dramatic circumstances, most that followed, including Carysfort Reef, Alligator Reef, Sombrero Key, Sand Key, and American Shoal, survived intense tropical weather and even major hurricanes. Among the lighthouse keepers were remarkable women who succeeded in a profession usually reserved for men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author H eather Leigh Carroll-Landon guides readers on a spine-tingling tour through Florida's haunted lighthouses. Lighthouses dot the Florida coast, there to help seafarers navigate their way to shore. But when tragedy comes for Florida, it often blows in from the sea, giving the lighthouses and the cursed men and women inside a first look at horror. The lively spirits of teenage sisters inhabit the St. Augustine Lighthouse, where an accident claimed their lives, suspending them in their playful youth. A storm wiped out the Sand Key Lighthouse in 1846, claiming the lives of 16 whose spirits now chatter away--generally in contented tones but sometimes straying into anger. A Civil War casualty roams near the Amelia Island Lighthouses, holding to a promise to see his love one last time before departure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death is a reality of life, yet not everyone has the ability to face its after-shocks of utter sadness, fear, loneliness and emptiness. Death is also a great teacher if we learn to face it ~ and not run from it. This book is a compilation of humorous, poignant, heart breaking and thought provoking vignettes about the life and death of her grandmother; their relationship during and after death; and the challenges a person must face when death sits on ones doorsteps. Writing about grief is similar to cleaning out an attic. Every so often you have to go up there, weed through the collection of memories and throw away that which you don't need any more. If you don't, the excess weight will eventually weaken the floorboards and send them crashing down on your head. She weaves a tapestry of love and loss that blankets her world as she shows people the valuable lessons a person's death can teach another about life ~ and how life is really a long series of little deaths. It shows how one can actually write themselves out of the clutches of grief and into a world of loving remembrance ~ and it reveals that love is indeed the greatest motivator. "In the Twinkle of an Eye" is testament that anyone who loves can write.
