Allison Bible

Erbauliche Lieder Sammlung Zum Gottesdienstlichen Gebrauch in Den Bereinigten Evangelisch Lutherischen Gemeinen in Pennsylvanien Und Den Benachbarten Staaten, Germantaun, Michael Billmeyer, 1795.

This is an interesting piece. It is not a Bible per se, it is a psalm book or hymnal I suppose, printed in the German language in Pennsylvania. Notes inside hint about a relationship to President McKinley's ancestors (his mother was Nancy Allison), but I have found no proof of that. The book itself is in good condition, with all pages present and in good condition. The original binding clips are present and the spine is in great shape. The front board is detached and there is wear to the leather.
