"Christ in the Camp" by J. William Jones, is definitely a must read!

Sir, I will pass this along and hope it may help in your pursuit. This is a personal diary which is concise and is a somewhat telling work. I found his regiment was brigaded with my wife's great grandfather's regiment which brought his experience a bit closer to us.

To the above titles I'll add Robert J. Miller's Both Prayed to the Same God, 2007, Lexington Books. Chapter 12 deals specifically with revivals. The Further reading recommendations at the end of each chapter, as well as the notes and bibliography, may be even more helpful.

This covers revivals, prayer meetings (soldiers & civilian) etc. during the war. I know the title has been posted above, but it can be read on line.
