Content Description

Two small volumes of the daily calendar type, dated 1904 and 1910, used as notebooks by Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop and Hall of Famer John Peter "Honus" Wagner. Two volumes, 14 and 15 cm., 52 and 70 leaves, with 16 and 65 pages of entries in Wagner's hand. Content consists mostly of accounts, addresses, and other brief notations. The 1910 volume contains several crossed-out copies of a rudimentary will, whose wording suggests that Wagner feared for his life.
