(4) K-3 Illustrated by Eileen Ryan Ewen. In 1861, thirty-seven-year-old Harriet Colfax began tending the Michigan City Lighthouse. Harriet's demanding, often dangerous work as one of the nation's few female lighthouse keepers for over forty years is recounted in the narrative and diary-entry sidebars. Finely rendered art with washes of color evokes her life and times. An author's note is included; unfortunately, sources are not. Glos.
Reviewer: Debora Pearson
