Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the genesis of the United States Christian Commission, founded in 1861, in New York City, by the Young Men's Christian Association in order to work among the Union Army during the Civil War. The book illustrates how the USCC was an outgrowth of the YMCA's Army Committee formed in May 1861, shortly after the start of the Civil War. The book's author, Cephas Brainerd, was the Army Committee's Secretary and would play a key role in establishing the USCC. It was the first organization to provide practical support to Union soldiers, delivering reading materials, healthcare supplies, and religious services. The author describes the various activities undertaken by the Army Committee, which served as a blueprint for the later work of the USCC. Brainerd describes the Army Committee's efforts to address the spiritual needs of soldiers, the publication of religious materials, the visitation of local regiments, and the establishment of devotional meetings, all of which would become central to the work of the USCC. This book offers a valuable glimpse into the origins and development of one of the most important civilian relief organizations in American history.
