Life at the Lights... The Bakers of New Bedford, by Jeremy D'Entremont Lightkeeping was often a family affair, and it was not rare for multiple generations of a family to serve as keepers. One of the most notable keeper dynasties at a New England lighthouse was the three-generation team of Bakers in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Another excellent book to buy: Lighthouses of Massachusetts by Jeremy D'Entremont. It will be out in the spring of 2007. Paul, thanks for posting the wonderful excerpt about the Bakers. It's incredible how they could make life so comfortable in a little lighthouse like that!
