1849 HOLY BIBLE Antique AMERICAN Ingersoll FAMILY Civil War 10th NY INDIAN Psalm

  
Containing the Old and New Testaments. Translated Out of the Original Tongues.. New York: American Bible Society, 1849. Fantastic pre Civil War era family Bible with ownership to a Civil War hero, as well as an Indian missionary to Colorado. Original leather with pleasant aging, rounding and rubbing, the spine with faded gilt bands and a gilt and black leather spine label; a really nice aged presentation. Interior in decent shape, with some even browning and foxing, as well as a few scattered instances of staining; one gathering pulled a bit in Psalms with a few loose pages; the first and last EPs/pastedowns and family records signed by the Ingersoll family of Oxford, Vernon and Guilford NY. Married in surnames include Bolles, Nott, Wallin, and Dickinson. Some of the Civil War engagements in which Ingersoll participated were: Leesburg, Brandy Station, Middleburg, Gettysburg, Mine Run, Todd´s Tavern, Cold Harbor, Malvern Hill, Ream´s Station, Stoneman Raid, Dinwiddie Court House, Lee´s Mills, and many more.

They fought both mounted, with saber and pistol, and dismounted with carbines, participating in many of the largest and bloodiest cavalry fights of the war. Interestingly, the rear pastedown has a pasted down reference to the 23rd Psalm in Indian sign language; of all the names in the Bible, one stands out as a link to this- Genevieve Ingersoll whom passed away in 1906 in Estes Park, Colorado. The western migration of this young lady, whom was apparently single, certainly pointed at Missionary work. A nice specimen of an early American Bible with provenance linked to great history.

Psalm 23 : The North American Plains Indian Version. Psalm 23 in David Kirkpatricks blog, Travels in Transmedia. From their first encounters with Christian missionaries, the North American Plains Indians used universal sign language to communicate Psalm 23 among tribes who spoke different oral languages.

In 1894, Isabel Crawford, a Baptist missionary to the Kiowa Indians in Oklahoma, translated the Sign Version into literal English. Here is the Psalm 23 translation. The Great Father above is a shepherd Chief. Sometimes my heart is very weak and falls down but. He lifts me up again and draws me into a good road.

Sometime, it may be very soon, it may be a long, long time. He will draw me into a valley. It is dark there, but Ill be afraid not, for it is in between those mountains that the Shepherd Christ will meet me and the hunger that I have in my heart all through this life will be satisfied. He gives me a staff to lean upon.

He spreads a table before me with all kinds of foods. He puts His hand upon my head and all the tired is gone.

My cup He fills till it runs over. What I tell is true. These roads that are away ahead will stay with me through this life and after; and afterwards I will go to live in the great house and sit down with the Shepherd Chief forever.
