The Soldier Bishop Ellison Capers PDF Download

Excerpt from The Soldier-Bishop, Ellison Capers In presenting the life of Bishop Capers, it is a pleasure to acknowledge the assistance I have received from contributors and friends. To those bishops who knew and honored him and have herein paid their tribute to his memory, expressing so beautifully the love and esteem in which they held him - to them I wish to record my gratitude and appreciation. Bishop Capers ever cherished as sacred any expression of comradeship and confidence toward him, whether given by the humblest or the greatest of his fellow-men. But no experience gave him greater happiness than such expressions from his brother bishops. To those whose names appear in the volume in connection with memoirs, reminiscences, and anecdotes I also wish to express my appreciation, both for the material furnished and also for the spirit of loyal interest which prompted the contributions. It was at the suggestion of my brother, the Very Rev. William T. Capers, dean, Christ Church Cathedral, Lexington, Ky., that I was led to undertake this work. By his many admirable suggestions in regard to the method of securing certain valuable materials, and also in regard to the work in the last half of the book, I profited greatly. Bishop Capers is survived by five sons and two daughters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
