The Bravest Woman in America by Marissa Moss illustrated by Andrea U'Ren*

Ida Lewis loved the sea and maintaining the lighthouse with her father. She was his diligent student.  When he became ill, she was more than prepared to assume his duties.  Written in an exciting narrative, this book would be a great one to use when introducing biographies.
Officially she saved 16 lives but in actuality it was more like 25 lives.
*Highly recommend.
Author's note includes more details about her life.
