Banks Bible

This Bible page was included in the Revolutionary War Pension
application for Nathaniel Banks. It is currently in the possession
of the National Archives. Pension and Bounty-Land-Warrant
Application File W14231, Massachusetts.

Although the file says this is for Nathaniel Banks, the script on this
page clearly reads Bangs all the way through. I bet the Banks family
wasn't pleased when this was completed.

The scan isn't that great, provided by NARA.
