Product Features

As the sunrises on the Southern countryside, draped by a mantle of snow, Soldiers and their families (often in camp with them) pause to for a Sunday morning Worship Service.  Notice the varied prayerful poses of the worshipppers as the Southern Chaplain begins the service.
"I derive great comfort from the precious promises of Our Lord and Savior, " wrote a Southern infantryman in 1862 - sentiments repeated in countless soldier letters. "May God give me faith to sustain me under every trial..."
General Stonewall Jackson personally distributed salvation tracts to his soldiers.   More than  a quarter-million copies of a Gospel tract called Parting Words were distributed through the Southern armies, and the US Christian Commission donated more than a half-million Bibles to Norther troops during a single year of the war.  In 1862 & 1862, the Southern armies were transformed by a revival akin to the Colonial-era Great Awakening.  It produced tens of thousands of new Christians, spurred a wave of campground worship services and launched countless prayer meetings.
