Hardcover paragraph bible, 3.75 x 5.5, over 600 pages, 1859, New York, George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode. Owner’s signature, “Robert Taylor Scott, 8th Regt., Va. Vols: April 1862,” with several handwritten bible references to opening pages, a couple of loose diary pages, one announcing his baptism, and a couple news clippings. In good condition, with toning and soiling to pages, paper loss to pastedowns, loose and partially detached hinges, wear and rubbing to covers and spine, and missing one portion of locking clasp. 8th Infantry Regiment was organized at Leesburg, Virginia, in May, 1861. The unit was also called "Old Bloody Eighth." During the war it was brigaded under Generals Cocke, Pickett, R.B. Garnett, and Hunton. In early 1862 the regiment joined Pickett’s Brigade for the Penninsula Campaign, and took part in Pickett’s famous charge at Gettysyburg. On April 6, 1865, the majority of the regiment was captured or killed at the Battle of Sayler's Creek. Those who escaped that battle were paroled three days later following Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse.
