What was their role in wartime religious life? How did they respond to the challenges of war? What aspects of religiosity did they abandon and what did they embrace? How did soldiers respond to the work of these spiritual leaders? Through Civil War soldiers' diaries, letters, and memoirs, Ben Miller examines the work done by chaplains and missionaries, with a particular emphasis on their role in religious space--battlefields, camps, hospitals, and prisons. * "Religion" is understood in this context as Christianity, as over 95% of the US population identified as Christian at this time"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Revision of the author's thesis (doctoral)--University of Florida, 2012. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Men of the cloth -- Christian soldiers -- Worship practices in camp -- Constructing sacred space in camp : churches, battles, and diversity -- Ministering to the fighting, dying, sick, and wounded -- Clerical care in general hospitals and prisons. 611 27 $a American Civil War (1861-1865) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351658 651 0 $a United States $x Christianity. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Religious aspects $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Clergy $x Political activity $z United States. 650 0 $a War $x History $x Christianity $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Soldiers $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Religion and politics $z United States. 830 0 $a Modern war studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230503012644.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7C7A968E6CA011E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
