RE: Clergy Dissent in the Old South 1835-1865
Does the book happen to mention Parson Lemuel Wilmer, a side figure in the Lincoln assassination story, who literally stuck to his Union guns and continued to preach from his pulpit at St. Paul's Piney Episcopal Church in Charles County, Maryland? To irritate his communicants even more, Sec. of War Stanton granted Parson Wilmer a commission as a chaplain in the Union forces.
