Table of ContentsReviewsConyngham's work, its subject, its language, and its tone, reveal much about what the editors call 'the state of the church and its uneasy place in American society at the time.' . . . There is much new here, and by comprehensively bringing together information about both priests and nuns, it suggests the direction and provides some of the facts for a full history of Catholics in the Civil War. --Lawrence Kohl, editor of David Power Conyngham's The Irish Brigade and Its Campaigns The most important contribution of Soldiers of the Cross is that it democratizes access to a very important document on the Civil War experience of Catholic chaplains and sister-nurses. The description of the original manuscript in the introduction and important changes or annotations made by both Conyngham and the present editors provides very good context. The book will appeal to lay readers, especially those who research particular regiments or have ancestors associated with particular units. --James M.
