I bought this book at a local charity shop in my hometown of Cambridge, ON. I can see from a stamp inside the cover that it once belonged to Humberside Collegiate Institute, so I guess it has already travelled here from Toronto (about 100 km).

In celebration of the sesquicentennial, I have dedicated this year's bookcrossing activity to the reading and sharing of Canadian stories. I believe this story was written by an American, but it is about slaves escaping to Canada, so it tells a Canadian story too-- the story of how some of our people came to settle here. I am including it in my Canada 150 project.

I left this book at the park in Glen Allan this afternoon. I left it in a protective bag, tied to the historical marker about the Queen's Bush Settlement.

If you've found this book, thanks for picking it up and checking out its journal! If you're new to bookcrossing, welcome. We'd love it if you'd stick around with us a while. I really hope that you enjoy both this book and the whole bookcrossing experience!

This book was released as a part of the 2018 "52 Towns in 52 Weeks" Release Challenge. Glen Allan was Town #18 for me!
