THE PROVERBS 1862 American Bible Society CIVIL WAR NEW YORK Leather Pocket Book
THE PROVERBS Translated out of the original Hebrew. Quite a stunning relic to behold, given both its provenance and the function of proverbs on the battlefield. One imagines that this delicate little pocket book may have been held close to a soldiers heart, through the chaos of war.
For historical context, this item would have been circulated a full year before President Lincoln delivered his address at Gettysburg. There he consecrated the battlefield and honored the fallen by redoubling the Unions commitment to achieving ultimate victory.
That these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Publication: New York: American Bible Society, 1862.
