Queen Victoria celebrated her Golden Jubilee on 21st June 1887. Great
celebrations organised by Major John Fincher Trist of Tristford took place in
Harberton on that day. The Major wrote a book, including an ode which was sent
to the Queen, which captures the events of the day and names many of the
individuals involved. An original copy of this book has recently most kindly
been lent to this website.
The full text has been
captured by OCR and can be viewed by clicking on the blue cover below.
Bear in mind that the book has about 65 pages, so you might prefer to
disconnect before starting your read.
