| A Light in the Field |
| Lighthouses, Fishery Buildings, Barns and Mills of Prince Edward Island |
| H. M. Scott Smith |
Handsome historic buildings dot the countryside of
Prince Edward Island. The barns that dominate the
farmyards, the old mills beside the streams, the
well-used fishery sheds and canneries at wharf side,
and, most dramatic of all, the lighthouses on the
headlands speak of a sturdy building tradition that
continues to this day.
In A Light in the Field, Scott Smith shows these
buildings inside and out, from land, sea and air. He
tells the stories of how and why they were built, who
built them, and what has befallen them since they were
new.
