About This Book

A military chaplain's memoir traces his entry into Confederate service, his dual role as pastor and physician, and eyewitness accounts of campaigns, battles, and the army's spiritual life. The narrative discusses the duties and influence of regimental chaplains, moments of pastoral care and conversions among soldiers, and vividly recalls specific campaigns and the war's disintegration. Later chapters shift to postwar years, detailing his long episcopate, efforts to rebuild the church, advocacy for Christian education in Tennessee, and active involvement in the establishment and support of the University of the South at Sewanee.

APPENDIX
