Abbie Burgess
About 200 years ago, there were no airplanes or trains in the
United States, so people used ships to travel. Some areas were very
dangerous for ships, so lighthouses* were built in these places. At
night, people on ships knew they had to be careful when they saw
the light on the top of a lighthouse. The people who took care of
lighthouses were called lighthouse keepers, and their job was very
important.
In 1853, a 14-year-old girl named Abbie Burgess moved to
an island in Maine with her family. No other people lived on the
island, and Abbie's father was the lighthouse keeper. Abbie helped
her father in the lighthouse. She learned how to clean the lights in
the lighthouse and do many other things. The lights had to shine*
brightly until morning.
Just before winter in 1856, Abbie's father had to leave the
island to buy food. He had to go 25 miles by boat to get to the
nearest town. He told Abbie to take care of their family and the
lighthouse. After he left, a big storm came, and it was the biggest
storm in 100 years. It rained and snowed for four weeks, so
Abbie's father could not return to the island. Abbie took care of the
lighthouse by herself for one month.
Finally, Abbie's father came back. He was very happy
because his family was safe. Abbie did a great job. Her work
saved many people's lives. Abbie became the assistant* lighthouse
keeper in 1862.
