Summary: "An Historical Sketch of the First Hillsboro Baptist Church" by W. Camp is a historical account penned in the late 19th century. This book details the origins and development of the First Hillsboro Baptist Church, chronicling the early settlers’ struggles and achievements from their arrival in the area. The narrative highlights the church's role in the community and its significance to the settlers in Hillsboro, New Brunswick.
