Stan, there was no name in the bible. However, there was an unused railroad ticket inside for the Alabama & Mississippi Rivers R. "Selma to "o, good for this day only". Also a penciled note inside saying
"This Book was picked up on one of the streets of Selma Alabama on Apr 3d 1865-(the day after the Battle in which the writer took part. My Regiment wint in with 161 men and Officers. Loss 39 killed and wounded none missing. Federal Commander Gen James H. Wilson. Confederate Commander Gen N. B. Forest.)"
The bible was the hardest relic for me to give up and I have to admit I had to have a serious visit with my conscious about it. But I had given my word to an old man and had no choice. It was precious to me!
