"Seeing the Light: Lighthouses of the Western Great Lakes"
Author/publisher: Terry Pepper and Sue Pepper, 2002.

Since 1999, the Peppers have been scouring the western Great Lakes to photograph and document hundreds of lighthouses on the great inland waterways. The site features stunning photography, clear and extensive commentary, illustrations, photographs, maps and detailed discussions of lighthouses of many sizes and descriptions. The site was chosen over competing nominations for its ease of navigation and sustainability of content. It will be a permanent resource for information on Great Lakes lighthouses far into the future.
