The Confederate Army Navy Prayer Book Dr. William Peters

The Army Navy Prayer Book of the Confederate States is the Episcopal Prayer Book for the Armed Services of the Confederacy. It went through annual editions from 1861-1865, and was the official military prayer book of the Confederate States. As an Afterword, some additional prayers by Bp. Thomas Atkinson, bishop of North Carolina, have been included. Also added are national calls to prayer by President Jefferson Davis throughout the War, and a sermon by Bp. Stephen Elliot delivered upon the Day of National Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer in 1861. This work is printed for ease of carrying, and daily use by Christians who want a Prayer Book that connects us to our Southern ancestors and their cause of freedom.
