A General's Prayer. "Peace to the land and blessings on friend and foe alike." Prayer by Gen. Leonidas K. Polk, CSA, an Episcopal Bishop, offered on October 9, 1862 following the Battle of Perryville. Shaken by the horrors of war, just witnessed, Polk entered this church asking that bell be tolled. Soldiers' and civilians' tears mingled with prayers in one great supplication. Dedicated October 6, 1962.
