For Courageous Fighting and Confident Dying: Union Chaplains in the Civil War
"An excellent and readable account of the role of chaplains in the Union army. In recounting the actions and attitudes of these men, Armstrong also provides valuable insights into the motivations of the troops, as well as their interactions with the slaves they were trying to liberate. A much needed book on the religious world of Civil War soldiers, perhaps the most under-interpreted area in Civil War history."--Steven E. Woodworth, author ofDavis and Lee at War
