The spirit divided : memoirs of Civil War chaplains : the Confederacy by John Wesley Brinsfield
"Dr. Brinsfield begins the book by thanking his wife for allowing him time to spend time in the company of heroes (through reading their firsthand materials he used to write this book). What he neglects to say is that he, too, is a hero as a (retired) Army chaplain. (I know because I have the honor of serving such heroes, chaplains and chaplain assistants, every day.) And as a Southerner himself as well, no one could be better suited to write this book. " - Ariellion
