This Bible was the property of Civil War soldier Myrick I. Plummer of the Maine Volunteers. It seems likely given the size and the ownership stamp that Plummer carried this Bible with him while soldiering. Ownership stencil on front free endpaper: "M.I. PLUMMER/Co. C. 19. Me R." From the Civil War collection of Denis E. Reen, with his bookmark laid in.
Expert restoration and expected wear to this very good Civil War-era Bible.
