am a member of three
Civil War Round Tables. I have been an
avid reader of the Civil War since about 1990, pursuant to the PBS
Civil War
presentation. Being a Paralegal, in reading about the War, I understood
the
legal issues presented by the case of Maj. General Gouverneur Kemble
Warren in
his removal from command of the Union Fifth Corps in 1865.
As a result, I began a biography in
1992, and have traveled to work with
various manuscript collections at the New York State Library and the
Library of
Congress. Expected publication is in 2007. |

Book: Both prayed to the same God
Religion and Faith in the American Civil War
Both Prayed to the Same God
is the first book-length, comprehensive study of religion in the Civil
War. While much research has focused on religion in more
specific contexts of the Civil War, this book
provides a much-needed overview of this vital yet largely forgotten
subject of American history. Writing passionately
about this subject, Robert Miller
presents this history in a very accessible but scholarly fashion.
Beginning with the religious overtones in the lead up to the war, and
concluding with consequences on religion in the aftermath, Miller
shows us not only a forgotten aspect of history, but also how our
current historical situation is not unprecedented. Website
