Book Synopsis
This exciting Civil War diary of a Redemptorist priest, Rev. James Sheeran, C.Ss.R., who was chaplain to the Louisiana Regiment of the Confederacy, is a national treasure. Irish-born Sheeran (1817-1881) was one of only a few dozen Catholic chaplains commissioned for the Confederacy. The journal permits us to hear a voice in Civil War studies that is seldom heard—that of a Catholic clergyman.

Trade Review
“This should be part of any scholar’s or general reader’s library on the conditions of service, beliefs, passions and pitfalls in the life of the Confederate soldier. Every library with a Civil War collection, as well as the military and naval service libraries, should have a copy of this in their collections. Civil War bu s, collectors and re-enactors will find this invaluable.”—Du W. Crerar, author of Padres in No Man’s Land: Canadians Chaplains and the Great War.
