Abstract
Autograph album belonging to George W. Perry, a student at Alleghany College in Blue Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia, a school for Baptist Ministers.

The album contains handwritten sentiments written by Perry's classmates and friends on the eve of the Civil War in May 1861. Entries include names and locations; most of the students were from Virginia.
