About This Item
Amhurst, Nova Scotia: Amherst Gazette Steam Printing House, 1885. Hardcover. Very Good. 209, [1] pp. Includes index. In 1774, William Black made an visit of inspection before he risked bringing his family to Canada a year later. He was impressed with the hard working Baptist families in the Amherst area, most of whom had been recruited from New England to replace the recently evicted Acadians. Blind-stamped green cloth with title gilt. Back hinge has been mended by overstitching the last gathering to the text block. This repair is many years old, and is still firm. The rear free endpaper has been re-attached with reversable paste.
