Abstract:

In 1868, Dexter Stetson, an experienced lighthouse builder, came from New England to build lighthouses at Cape Hatteras and Bodie Island. His work finished, he vanished into history. Now one hundred years to the date of his death, the man who built the East Coast's best lighthouses has been rediscovered.
