The Original Biography of Abbie Burgess, Lighthouse Heroine

Rating:
Summary: A great book about lighthouse history and living conditions!
Review: This book is about Abbie, a lighthouse keeper. She was 14 when she set foot on the rock. The book describes what it was like living on the rock, and what it was like taking care of the lights. The book describes very well what it was like living back when there were no switch lights. They had to use a wood basin to clean themselves in, and in the winter she had to scrape the ice off the glass of the lighthouse windows. In one of the chapters there was a big storm. The sailers got together and got her a big silverbowl for maintaining her courage and being faithful to her duty. It was a very good book about lighthouse history. Cami and Kristina (age 8)
