Up from Handymen
This volume is one of a series of five prepared by various authors, designed to be useful and instructive regarding the long history of the United States Army Chaplaincy. The emphasis throughout is on how chaplains did their ministry in the contexts of both war and peace. The series seeks to present as full and as balanced an account as limitations of space and research time permit. The bibliography in each volume offers opportunities for further research. This volume covers the period from 1865 to 1920. Chaplain Earl F. Stover, a Regular Army chaplain of the United Methodist Church, is the writer of this volume. Chaplain Stover is a native of Illinois and was Pastor of a civilian congregation in Alton, Illinois, before his entry on active duty in 1957. He has served at Fort Sam Houston, Texas; Scott Air Force Base, Illinois; Fort Bliss, Texas; US Army Chaplain Center and School, Fort Wadsworth, Staten Island, New York; and overseas in Germany and Vietnam. He has been awarded the Legion of Merit, the Meritorious Service Medal, and the Army Commendation Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster.

He weaves their stories, and those of others he has interviewed, into the story of an a...

Readers may not be surprised to learn that the first Lutheran missionary in Puerto Rico was a Swedish American Lutheran; they may not be aware, however, that his welcome and success on the island were dependent on the hospitality of an Afro-Caribbean tailor from Jamaica. A winding journey of interactions among American Lutheran synods and a growing P...
Serving Two Masters
Chaplain Richard M. Budd has made a welcome, concise, well written and researched contribution to an overlooked chapter in chaplain history. Anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of how the professional and fully institutionalized chaplaincy of today's military came about would do well by consulting Budd's book." --Bradley L. Carter, On Point. Military chaplains have a long and distinguished tradition in the United States, but historians have typically ignored their vital role in ministering to the needs of soldiers and sailors. Richard M. Budd corrects this omission with a thoughtful history of the chaplains who sought to create a viable institutional structure for themselves ...
