An inscribed King James pocket Bible carried into the 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill by a Massachusetts soldier during the American Revolutionary War sold for $161,000, double its presale estimate.
Bonhams doesn't release information about buyers.
The items were among hundreds of historic documents being sold by collector Eric Caren, of Woodstock, New York.
Washington was a then-22-year-old surveyor from Virginia when the Maryland newspaper published his journal detailing his failed effort during the winter of 1753-54 to persuade the French to withdraw from the Ohio River Valley.
