I am doing research on the Revials in the CS army. I was wondering what resources are out there. Any information is appreciated.

Re: Revivals in CS Army
Bell Irvin Wiley's "Life of Johnny Reb" references the religious/spiritual movements of the Confederate Army very well. You should give it a look.

Woodworth, Steven E. "While God Is Marching on: The Religiouis World of Civil War Soldiers." University Press of Kansas, 2003.
A bit dry at times, but in my opinion, the best academic book on the subject.

Re: Revivals in CS Army
Rod-
There is a great book about the 9th Tennessee (who were eventually Brigaded with the 6th) detailing an account of a religious service in which a tree fell on the congregation killing & maiming. I'll retrieve the author and title off my shelf this evening. Like many of the AoT and Missouri Brigade units (see their battle flag), the 9th were deeply Religious.

Re: Revivals in CS Army
The book about the 9th is The Confederate 9th Tennessee Infantry by James R. Flemming. Soldiering in The Army of Tennessee by Larry Daniels is excellent.
Take care Rob,

"Christ in the Camp" by J. William Jones, is definitely a must read!Pvt. Johann Van De Leeuw
"Christians desire that their children shall be taught all the sciences, but they do not want them to lose sight of the Rock of Ages while they study the age of the rocks; neither do they desire them to become so absorbed in measuring the distance between the stars that they forget Him who holds the stars in His hand."

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.
