Civil War Soldier’s Bible Returned to Family

I was looking through my old book collection about 1 month ago and came across a soldier’s Civil War bible I forgot, I bought 3 years ago. Looong story short… I after searched for the family online, I finally found them. And yesterday, My husband and I met the great-great grand niece and presented her, and her family members with the lost bible after 145 years at the grave site of the Civil War soldier in New Jersey. He died with the pocket bible in the Civil War Battle of the Wilderness in New Jersey in the 1860s. He was only 20 years old.
