Early Halifax

I could write my own article here about early Halifax but I would never be able to do a better job than the second part of the following link. Its an online book that gives a fantastic insight into old Halifax. Unfortunately, most of the pictures are poor quality but the writings have a wealth of information about the early days of the town.
