Point Reyes Lighthouse

Reading from the lighthouse logbook 📖 😂. . . - “1875, August 13, 1st Assistant Mr. Rane refused to work over a ½ day. Said he would not work over ½ day for any man in the Lighthouse service.” - “1875, November 4, 3rd Assistant Parker left station at 9:00 a.m. without asking permission and remained absent until 6:00 p.m. on November 5th. … Took government horse with him and returned to station drunk and unable to perform his duty that night.” - “1876, November 1, 3rd Asst J.C. Baker resigns and leaves the station complaining the duties are too heavy for him, an old man to perform.”
