The name Wes Oleszewski will be a familiar one to those who love to read about the nautical history of the Great Lakes.

"Lighthouse Adventures" is a result of the research the author did while writing a guide to the Great Lakes lighthouses. As with all his books, this one is published by Avery Press.

I found it to be a real page-turner. The book transports the reader back to the days when lighthouse keepers had to transport themselves to their stations - often by rowing through ice that is just breaking up after a long winter.

You'll find true tales about Lighthouse Keepers and the US Lifesaving Service as well as how those in these services placed their own lives at risk in order to save the lives of others.

One story debunks the haunting of a lighthouse while another recounts the author's own experience with a lighthouse ghost.

Another story "The Hardware To Prove It" tells the tale of one of only a handful of members of the USLSS to receive two Gold Medals -- and then went on to save even more lives after transferring to the USLHS.

Highly recommended! Find it at Amazon.com
