Show notes

This week, Kate talks about the several photgraphs that exist of the day Harry and Fanny Clark were married - August 12, 1891. They create a snapshot of small town life in Haliburton Village. Plus Paul talks about Anderson Ruffin Abbott who in 1861 became the first Candian born Black medical doctor. Among his many accomplishments was to be one of the doctors who stood vigil by President Abraham Lincoln's bedside after he was shot by John Wilkes Booth.
