Au sujet de Walton & Gaylord : "Joseph Walton and Asa Gaylord probably planned their joint venture in Stanstead while both worked in the book trade in Montpelier. [...] Walton and Gaylord, however, did show excellent timing in their arrival in Stanstead. It was at a time when Silas Dickerson was experiencing terminal financial problems with his printing office. [...] In any case, Walton & Gaylord printed and issued their first books in 1833 and early 1834. [...] As publishers, Walton & Gaylord's range of publications would more often than not focus on schoolbooks, such as readers, spelling books, arithmetic, history and geography manuals. As well, they would publish popular works, such as almanacs and practical titles for farmers and family living. All in all, over a period of 20 years or so, Walton & Gaylord, as partners, were to print, bind and market about 15 to 20 different titles, not including the annual appearance of their Canadian Farmers' Almanac, which went into at least twenty editions from 1835 through 1855. It is not clear at this time whether Asa Gaylord continued his partnership with Joseph Walton beyond ca 1848-1850".
