Notes:: Lighthouse keeper logs for the South Pierhead Light, South Haven, Michigan, from November 11, 1880 to September 18, 1884, recorded by the keeper James S. Donahue. An entry, "Orders and Letters from Head Quarters copied hear [sic] for further reference," dated January 20, 1881 appears out of order between the log for September 2nd and 3rd, 1884. Donahue's entries are detailed and include information about the temperature, weather conditions, names and owner's names of some of the incoming vessels, and maintenance of the lighthouse. The journal records commerce and pleasure crafts passing in and out of the harbor. Donahue provided descriptions about shipwrecks, including the name of the ship and the fate of the crew. The journal measures 13-3/4 x 8-1/2 x 1-1/2, with marbled boards and edges, stamped "Light Station Journal" on spine, produced by the US Government Bindery.

Notes:: German military authorities issued special script to POW's which could be used to purchase goods in the prison canteen. This is an example of a one-Pfennig bill from the Oberhofen prison camp. Prison currency helped reduce opportunities for prisoners to bribe German guards or to support their escape efforts because this script was not valid outside of the facility.
