5. Civil War Era Bible--Susan Wade
When my father bought this Bible at a yard sale, he had no idea that it pre-dated the Civil War. It is inscribed as follows:
“A.W. White, Charlotte, January 25, 1855
Read this book every day—Your Mother,
A member of the Massachusetts Volunteers found this Bible on the battlefield of Roanoke Island in 1862. The postmaster in Charlotte located the sister of the soldier to whom it belonged. A newspaper article pasted in the back of the Bible tells its story and includes correspondence between the sister and the person who found it. It is really dear, and I still wonder how it made its way to a yard sale so many years later.
