Leonidas Polk is one of the most fascinating figures of the Civil
War. Consecrated as a bishop of the Episcopal Church and
commissioned as a general into the Confederate army, Polk's life in
both spheres blended into a unique historical composite. Polk was a
man with deep religious convictions but equally committed to the
Confederate cause. He baptized soldiers on the eve of bloody
battles, administered last rites and even presided over officers'
weddings, all while leading his soldiers into battle. Historian
Cheryl White examines the life of this soldier-saint and the legacy
of a man who unquestionably brought the first viable and lively
Protestant presence to Louisiana and yet represents the politics of
one of the darkest periods in American history.
