Found this today, under the hay in my barn: Question Book on the International Topics, 1883. It is inscribed: “Chester W. Sweet, Norton, Mass., Dec. 31, 1882.” Adding this to a growing collection I use for a classroom forensic exercise, called “Guess What’s In Dan’s Barn?” I distribute items that I have found, and students have to identify, date, and explain their potential use, based only on physical examination. #HistoryEducation #HistoricalAnalysis #1883 #ReligiousInstruction #BarnFinds
