description: Terras's book about the Grosse Point Lighthouse is a MUST HAVE for the history enthusiast (especially 19th century Chicago), the Great Lakes maritime nut, or anyone who loves lighthouses. It is obvious that the author has committed a great deal of time in research, and his dedication and care of the subject comes through like a proud parent boasting the accomplishments of a favourite child. Yet, it's not sappy sentimentalism or propoganda. The photography is creative; the graphics/illustraions authentic. This is a splendid effort to bring life to the struggles, mishaps and triumphs of people in a bygone time, and it succeeds admirably.
