"Mr. Wilson had his book published in Halifax in 1893 but he lacked sufficient money to purchase the volume for resale. It was not until 1917 that Mr. William Snow of Smith's Cove purchased the books from the publishers at a bargain price that the History of Digby County became available to the public."

R. B. Powell. "The Digby County Historian".

A facsimile edition of A Geography and History of the County of Digby was printed by the Mika Publishing Company, Belleville, Ontario in 1975.

A further reprinting of 500 copies was done by the Admiral Digby Historical Society in 1999. Copies are still available and may be ordered here.
