Cree Booklets and Articles

In this subsection we present a number of "stories" that will perhaps amaze, or perhaps just interest you. Some booklets that were published in the 1990s under the imprint of the Cree Family History Society are re-published here together with the best of our articles, mostly from CREE NEWS. CREE NEWS was published in print format from 1990 and continued its twice yearly issues until Cree News 17 in 1999.

Some of the booklets are in PDF (Portable Document Format). To read them you will need a piece of (free) software called Acrobat Reader. This can be downloaded from the Adobe website at www.adobe.com.

This file is a facsimile of Hortus Addlestonensis, a book published by John Cree, nurseryman of Addlestone, Surrey, in 1829. It is a personal document file (PDF) of size 24 megabytes. It consists almost entirely of lists of plants available at John Cree's nursery. It may nevertheless be of interest to botanists and gardeners.
