Confederate New Testament w/ Diarylike Notations
<B>Confederate New Testament With Diary-like Notations.</B></I> "<I>C. F. Vanderford, Capt. and Ord. Officer on the march from Wartrace to Tullahoma June 27, 1863 to A. Pearre 1st Lieut. Of Artillery and Ordnance Officer Liddell's Brigade, Cleburne's Div.</B></I>" The New Testament was published by the American Bible Society, N.Y., 1862. It has a broken spine and no back cover, but the contents are very good. Throughout this book Pearre gives the locations - and sometimes a few details of where he was or what was going on when he read a particular passage! Pearre is pictured in <I>Confederate Faces,</B></I> page 152 and mentioned in <I>Cleburne and his Command</B></I> by Buck. Pearre was a Marylander and had a fantastic history. A very interesting item - a transcription of his "notes" are provided as well as other history.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
