On View Gallery Watson Library

This solid elm book could be from the famous Washington Elm that stood in Boston Common from about 1700 until the mid 1870s. The remains of the famous relic were rescued and sawn into fragments which were sent to the governors of the forty-eight states, fraternal organizations, and elsewhere around the country. Some fragments were carved into books, one is in Houghton Library, Harvard University, dated 1875.
