Peyton Cavin presents today's Natchez History Minute about a memorable church service at the Rodney Presbyterian Church in September, 1863.  Union sailors from a nearby gunboat were attending church when they were surprised by Confederate soldiers. A gunfight broke out in the sanctuary and the gunboat subsequently shelled the town.
