A Commentary + Historical Documents-Slave/Civil War/Revolutionary War

Descripción:

This is an amazing find from an estate sale - a rare book that had some incredible treasures from the previous owner tucked in between the pages. Check this out. First and foremost you have the 1837 book - 'A Commentary Upon The Epistle of Paul to the Galatians' by Martin Luther. This book is in great shape and bears only the owner's name Benjamin Minnick on the blank endpaper. This is a wonderful book and such nice shape for the age. Tucked in the book I found Mr. Minnick's tax receipt from 1863 for taxes he paid to Washington County, Virginia for SLAVES and other personal property as well as his income. The 1870 Census lists Benjamin Minnick as a farmer in Washington County, Virginia. He also was listed as serving in the CIVIL WAR assigned to the 37th Virginia Calvary of the Confederate States of America in 1864. I also found in the book a newspaper article about a REVOLUTIONARY widow that came to town to speak, another with a inspirational poem called NO POCKETS IN A SHROUD. All of this amazing historical collection is priced to sell and will be something to treasure. N° de ref. del artículo ABE-8899483957
