Illustrated with pictures taken by Radzak and other talented photographers, this book offers a guide to and a stunning visual portrayal of Life at Split Rock..
He also discusses its construction in 1909, the technology that has powered the light and the foghorns, the stories of its keepers, and his decision in 1985 to light the beacon in memory of the crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Working with journalist and author Curt Brown, Radzak takes readers into the everyday experiences, the remarkable surprises, and the seasonal round of the Life of a Lighthouse keeper at Split Rock.
Over the next 36 years, they raised a family, marveled at the lake\'s beauty, endured gigantic storms, and answered the questions posed by more than four million visitors.
