From Google Books, "For more than 200 years, North Carolina's stoic lighthouses have defined the state's lacy yet lethal coastline as residents have worked to outsmart the impetuous shoals of the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Celebrating these revered symbols of warning and welcome, North Carolina's leading lighthouse experts, Bruce and Cheryl Shelton Roberts, explore how and why North Carolinians have bravely defended themselves from shifting winds and waves. Their years of extensive research have produced groundbreaking information and insights into the complex world of coastal North Carolina."

Of the over four dozen lighthouses that once marked the jagged shoreline of North Carolina, only nine still stand, watching over 300 miles of coast. These beacons are cherished monuments of North Carolina history. In addition to warning ships to safer waters, they now draw thousands of visitors each year. With this book, cofounders of the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society Cheryl Shelton-Roberts and Bruce Roberts provide a well-researched, human-centered, and beautifully illustrated history of these towering structures. The authors offer stories—including the misadventures of Civil War spies and the threat of looming German U-boats off the North Carolina coast—that provide important context and meaning to the history of North Carolina's lighthouses. From Cape Fear to Currituck Beach, every still-standing lighthouse is lovingly described alongside their architects, builders, and keepers and the sailors who depended on the lighthouses to keep them from harm.
