Death by murder, suicide or other tragic causes--while rare--were not unheard of. Two keepers on Lake Superior's Grand Island disappeared one early summer day in 1908, their decomposed remains found weeks later. A newly hired and some say depressed keeper on Pilot Island in Wisconsin's Door County slit his own throat after a consultation with a local butcher about the location of the jugular vein. A smallpox outbreak in the late 1890s led to the tragic death of a lighthouse hired hand on South Bass Island in Lake Erie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoin author Dianna Stampfler as she uncovers the facts (and debunks some fiction) behind some of the Great Lakes' darkest lighthouse tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dianna Higgs Stampfler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467149950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467149952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Dianna Higgs Stampfler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049079107839,"sku":"9781467149952","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c295f9e-b05f-4525-8404-ae4efb85c37b.jpg?v=1684999501","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/death-lighthouses-on-the-dianna-higgs-stampfler-9781467149952","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
