Dean's history of aids to navigation in the Islands describes the strenuous efforts necessary to establish and maintain many of the early lights on stark, inaccessible coasts, as well as the modern-day lights. It also offers vignettes of life in Hawaii as experienced by the lighthouse keepers, and descriptions of lighthouse sites, island by island. Includes maps and historical photographs.
