Notes

Many of my favorite things I read for this piece were contemporary newspaper tributes upon her death in 1911. They’re easy to find.

By far the most useful thing I read was Lenore Skomal’s *The Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter: The Remarkable True Story of American Heroine, Ida Lewis. *It’s very well researched and highly readable.
