TobiasI live near there!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. we feel the joy of digging through this history right along with himBy Cory DeanBill Dunnrsquo;s account of the Sea Girt lighthouse is a fascinating read. From the early debates surrounding its construction. through the succession of each keeper and their families. and finally to its current function as a community center and museum. Dunn takes us on a historical journey that spans three centuries.As time marches on. the Sea Girt lighthouse features as a centerpiece for a fascinating array of notable local events and ever-intriguing cast of characters. woven together in a continuous thread that reads more than simply an historical document. What makes the story of this lsquo;medium sizersquo; mid-point lighthouse so engaging is Dunnrsquo;s expert ability to place each moment of its specific account within larger historical context. such as the consequences of pivotal changes in the structure and philosophy of federal governance. the breakout of war. the impact of modern technology. and the cultural and social changes the nation has felt as a whole. This makes the tale of the Sea Girt lighthouse. its keepers. and the surrounding township. resonate with the history of virtually every small town in America.The incredible level of detailed research by the author. and his personal connection to the subject. brings a unique experience to the book. As new artifacts and documents are discovered. we feel the joy of digging through this history right along with him. and even learn a lot along the way. I canrsquo;t recommend highly enough Bill Dunnrsquo;s ldquo;Sea Girt Lighthouse: The Community Beaconrdquo;.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
