It was brought over by the Puritans, and hated by King James🧐
It was also the first portable Bible; so a Bible for the people, by the people.
there is a real nice Patriot's Edition with the George Washington picture that Q posted.

I'm fairly new to studying the Bible, but from what I can tell, KJV was similar to the Geneva Bible in literal content, but the GB had a lot of marginal notes which helped common people to study.
the notes also criticized the government, so KJ didn't like that & had the GB outlawed.
that in itself is enough for me to want to learn more. I tend to like the rule breakers;)
At one time e-sword.net had a downloadable Geneva translation. I think it’s free for desktops
thanks that's good to know. I've been reading this below, and it's quite tedious to search. would much prefer e-sword.
