About the author

Born in Virginia in 1842, Randolph Harrison McKim studied at the University of Virginia and later served in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. After the war, he entered the Episcopal ministry and went on to build a long career as a pastor, speaker, and author.

McKim became especially well known through his work in Washington, D.C., where he served at the Church of the Epiphany. He wrote on religion, public life, and the memory of the Civil War, bringing together the voice of a churchman and that of a veteran reflecting on a divided nation.

Among his notable works is A Soldier's Recollections, a memoir drawn from his wartime experience. Remembered as both a minister and a writer, he remains a figure connected to the religious and historical debates of his era.
