VEST POCKET BIBLE CARRIED THROUGH CIVIL WAR BY UNION SOLDIER

Vest pocket New Testament published in 1864 by the American Bible Society. This was owned by Thomas Benner of Bellefonte, PA.

He was a member of the 45th PVV, (Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer) 1st Brigade, 2nd Division, 9th Army Corps. I quote from the rear pastedown sheet This Testament was given to me by my mother on Mar. 8, 1864 and I carried it until the war was over and in all battles from the Wilderness to the taking of Petersburg April 2, 1865. Much of this is repeated on the front endpaper and pastedown sheet and the rear endpaper. The penciling has become faint and is most easily read from the ink inscription on rear pastedown sheet. Despite cosmetic flaws, still well bound and tight. An authentic Civil War artifact. The item "VEST POCKET BIBLE CARRIED THROUGH CIVIL WAR BY UNION SOLDIER" is in sale since Thursday, March 31, 2016. This item is in the category "Books\Antiquarian & Collectible".

The seller is "debanamen" and is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This item can be shipped worldwide.
