  • Mary Agnes Fitzgibbon (1851-1915)
Provenance:

Ex libris: M. A. Secord, Langford, Ont., (inscribed)

Note:

The inscribed provenance (M. A. Secord, Langford, Ont.,) is interesting in that in the book FitzGibbon recounts the legendary journey of the heroine bearing the same surname, leaving open the possibility that the book's original owner was a descendant of Laura Secord.
