This volume is one of a series of five prepared by various authors, designed to be useful and instructive regarding the long history of the United States Army Chaplaincy. The emphasis throughout is on how chaplains did their ministry in the contexts of both war and peace. The series seeks to present as full and as balanced an account as limitations of space and research time permit. The bibliography in each volume offers opportunities for further research. This volume covers the period from 1791 to 1865. This volume is the work of Chaplain Herman A. Norton, a Reserve Component chaplain of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Chaplain Norton is a native of Virginia and received his A.B. degree from Lynchburg College, Lynchburg, Virginia.
