"The Red Book"
MEMOIRS
OF THE FAMILY OF
REV. NATHANIEL RAWSON;
WITH
A FEW OF HIS SERMONS.

printed about 1894 or 1895
(no title page, no contents page)



This fragile copy may have been the property of Dennis Cook Rawson, a grandson of Rev. Nathaniel Rawson.  There were many clippings and articles glued into the book, and some others that were not glued in.  The book was probably published by the family. Transcribed by Suzanne Richmond, Winter 1999/2000.  View some photos/scans of the book.
