Description

Rare Texas Confederate Imprint. The Confederate Soldier's Hymn-Book (Houston: The Soldiers' Tract Society, 1864), 32 pages, 3" x 5", self-cover. A pocket hymnal printed on poorly trimmed coarse brown stock and originally bound with string by the job office of the Galveston News. Moderate stains on the front cover with a small fold on the back. Overall sound and in good condition. As the Civil War progressed, soldiers on both sides became increasingly religious and open to evangelical appeals. Although general Christian literature from the Civil War is relatively available to collectors, imprints from the Trans-Mississippi Confederacy are difficult to obtain.
