Lisa Mattson & Jean Mattson
I am looking for information on a civil war prayer book that has
been passed down thru a friend's family. It is approx 3x4" with
a brown cover, and the title, "The Soldier's Pocket Book", is
written in gold letters. It was published in 1861 in Philadelphia
by the Presbyterian Board of Publication. There is a stamp on the
inside front cover that is mostly illegible but I can make out what
appears to be "the U.S. Christian Commission." I am interested in
any information, including its history and origins, and any ideas on
possible worth today. It is in very fine shape. Please answer by
private e-mail. Thank you.
Regards,
Lisa Mattson
