In 1922 Louisa Pierpont (Morgan) Satterlee commissioned a stained glass window depicting Great Head, Mount Desert Island, Maine from Louis Comfort Tiffany. She gave it to the Church of the Holy Innocents, Highland Falls, New York, in memory of her father, J.P. Morgan. "The Louis Comfort Tiffany-signed window, entitled "Creation," was installed in the church's chancel in 1922. It was the gift of Louisa in memory of her father. It states the opening to the Benedicite hymn of praise: "O all ye works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord: praise him and magnify him forever." It depicts massive Great Head and the sun rising above the ocean's horizon." – “The Satterlee Window” by Don Lenahan, Memorials of Acadia National Park site, 04/15/2013, Accessed online 09/25/15; http://acadiamemorials.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-satterlee-window-during-my-research.html The church, in which her father had been an active member, is near Cragston, the Morgan estate on the banks of the Hudson River, just south of West Point. Holy Innocents is on Church Street a few doors north of Cozzens Avenue, about a block west of the U.S. Military Academy Visitors Center.

Robert Kaighn originally owned the top of Western Mountain and hiked during his time on the island. "This is a photo I took of what has been termed Kaighn's "rustic summerhouse" on top of Bernard Mountain. He owned the land from the West Peak to Great Notch, which he later gave to the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations. Note the four iron spikes outlining a square and a iron ring in the middle. If this is in fact his rustic summer house, then it was nothing more than a hut or shelter, given its small size. There was a path named for Robert Kaighn on top of Bernard Mountain. I haven't yet found that path, altho I did "discover" another old abandoned one called the Spring Trail from which it branched." - Don Lenahan 2009
