When I stopped by the Peace Garden today, I found a TV crew there looking over an old book.
The book was found in an old house in East Pembroke that is being renovated, stuck under floorboards in the attic along with some coins from the 1830s and paperwork from the 1930s, according to Larry Abarie.
The book is well known to historians, but editions with all the pages are reportedly hard to find. This copy appears to have all of its pages.
Interestingly, you can read the book -- which was an anti-slavery tract, but advocated returning former slaves to Africa -- online.
Dave McKinley's report for WGRZ is online here.
