#JamesBarryDiary 18/2/1876 Somewhat soft and blustery, but very little frost. I was considerably disturbed last night with folks in the other end. The doctor was there about the middle of the night seeing Annabella, who is troubled with some damned thing in her stomach - they say.

Abraham Beverly Walker broke barriers in late 19th-century Canada as a lawyer, journalist, and civil rights advocate. He challenged segregation in courts and in print, arguing Black Canadians deserved full equality under the law. This is his story. 🧵 1/10

It snowed about 3 inches.There is just as much oats coming to the mill that I can easily get through with myself. 10 ½ bushels of wheat was ground today. I was making some brass letters today. Anabella here they say.

#JamesBarryDiary 10/2/1876 Pretty frosty last night and all this day - some little moderation in the evening, snowing some this morning. I was between the Blacksmith shop and the Bookbindery all day. All hands are in middling health now, God be praised. There is wheels and sleds coming to the mill.

The analogy is apt: Canada's first international sporting victory was this New Brunswick rowing team's win at the Paris Regatta on July 8, 1867 - a week after Confederation. #cdnhist #sporthistory (Image: @library-archives.canada.ca, a051560)
