November 10, 1908 - Gideons International First Bible

In Boscobel, Wisconsin, in 1898, two traveling salesmen, Samuel Hill and John Nicholson, met and began planning what would today be Gideons International.  What started when Hill and Nicholson shared their hotel room has grown into an international organization.  On November 10, 1908, they placed their first Bible in the Superior Hotel in Iron Mountains, Montana.
