This book is a collection of the author's writings on the life and work of lighthouse keepers, particularly those serving around the coastlines of the Bering Sea. Written in the early 20th century, the book offers vivid descriptions of the harsh and unforgiving environment of this region, and the characters of the men who lived and worked in it. The author tells many stories of these men and their families, exploring the themes of isolation, loneliness, and the indomitable spirit which inspired them to keep the lights burning. Through the tales of these characters, the book also gives a rich insight into the place of the lighthouse keeper within the history of seafaring and maritime navigation.
