2.0.1. Davisville 1868: Twelve Months in Davis' Gestation

Month-by-month and sometimes week-by-week account of the twelve months of 1868 involving the founding of Davis. Originally a quasi-quarterly four-part exhibiit spread over the year of 2008 that was shown at the Hattie Weber Museum of Davis, it is presented here in the same four parts, one each in a separate folder.
