Bible belonged to Jewett Adams. He was in the California Gold Rush and was Nevada's 4th Governor. The bible is quite compact (5.5 x 3.25") which one would expect for a young man travelling to the California Gold Country. Inscribed inside is, " Nancy Adams: A parent's blessings on her son goes with this holy thing. The love that would retain the one must to the other cling. Remember this no idle toy. A mother’s gift remember boy." Found in the attic of a house that Jewitt Adams had lived in. It was in a box with school books for his daughter, etc. Includes extensive background information for Adams. Bible cover is incredibly fragile! City: Nevada State: General Americana Date: HWAC# 99563
