<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 1021269, member: 5066&quot;]In the USA, this term &quot;Bible box&quot; for early american boxes (17th- early 18th century) is a misnomer, these early boxes were not used for bibles, indeed, books of any kind in 1700 america were hideously expensive for one thing and, it&#039;s doubtful the box owner could even read. It is now believed most of these early boxes were used to store one&#039;s personal items in a one room communal household. The term &quot;bible box&quot; here was not in use until the mid&nbsp; 19th century &amp; was probably related to a marketing campaign. Just sayin......</p><p><br /></p><p>I am shocked, SHOCKED!!! Not a single early box from someone who is a Frieslander? SCANDALOUS! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
