There was a very special book in the Boyd Treasures that came on Thanksgiving. That book was a school notebook hand written in 1820 by Mary Ann Boyd. There was science, history and poetry contained in its pages. A real glimpse of the education of the time.
The neatest thing written here was a poem honoring the life of Mary Ann's aunt, Elizabeth Bessonet who died in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1796.
