This is a story of epic ambition-literally. It is one of an ambiguous and contestable heroism, of guilt, of stigma, of resilience, of mental illness, and of baseball. There's music and murder, sanity, sainthood, and sickness. There is love within and across generations, and there is loss and grief. There's hatred, crime, and revenge.

Excerpt from Abberations of Audibility of Fog Signals: A Paper Read Before the Philosophical Society of Washington, October 22, 1881This report is in itself full of interest. It appears that this officer spent several days steaming around Little Gull, while the fog-signal was in full blast, in various kinds of weather, and that he found the aberrations in audition here were as numerous and even more eccentric than those before mentioned as exp...

Excerpt from The Modern Light-House ServiceDuring the preparation of this work I consulted and drew more or less freely upon my previous professional papers, published in Appleton's Annual Cyclopedias, and in the Popular Science Monthly, for which due credit is given in the text. Findlay's light-houses of the World, the Ad miralty Lists, and the Sailing Directions issued bv the Navy Department furnished me with the statements as to light-house...
