Rebel Pulpit: The Civil War Prison Diary Of Lieutenant James Vance Walker - Third Tennessee Confederate Infantry (Vaughn's)

Captured by Federal soldiers while on a scouting mission in 1864, Lt. James Vance Walker, commander of Company ??of the Third Tennessee Confederate Infantry (Vaughn's Brigade), was sent as a prisoner of war to the Fort Delaware POW camp outside of Philadelphia where he was held for the remainder of the war. While at the prison, Walker, along with several other officers, worked tirelessly to establish a religious presence inside the fort ?doing moral battle with the gambling and drinking that ran widespread throughout the fort. Walker's diary, coupled with the diary of Rev. Isaac Handy, a political prisoner, offers amazing insights into the struggle between good and evil, even in the midst of Civil War.
