Historic preachers who shot back or Brothers & Sisters, let us pray...
From Stevens' Berdan's Sharpshooters in the Army of the Potomac:
"The Chaplain of the Second Regiment, Lorenzo Barber, also received great praise, and who well earned the name given him by the men, as the 'Fighting Parson.' On the skirmish line he was earnestly engaged with his telescopic-rifle, being one our best marksmen, and on account of his exposure and bravery in the late battle where he was not obliged to go, from that time on he never failed to have a large audience when he officiated as preacher. As the boys expressed it: 'That chaplain practices what he preaches. He tells us what we should do, and goes with us to the very front to help us in battle.'"
Sgt. Wyman White adds: "Chaplain Barber shot as he prayed, or in other words he helped to answer his own prayers by doing all he could to put down the rebellion."
Sorry but I'm too lazy to look up what denomination Chaplain Barber is but there is one final "holy man" story I'd like to share: "In one of the Indiana regiments... was a Methodist preacher, said to be one of the very best shots in the regiment. During the battle, he was particularly conspicuous for the zeal with which he kept up a constant fire. The 14th Ohio Regiment, in the thick of the fight, fired an average of eleven rounds to every man, but this parson managed to get in a great deal more than the average. He fired carefully, with perfect coolness, and always after a steady aim, and the boys declare that every time, as he took down his gun, after firing he added, 'And may the Lord have mercy on your soul.'"
