"Dabney suffered from camp fever once again, a sickness 'which brought me to death's door.' The illness forced him to resign his commission, which Jackson accepted with 'great reluctance' . . . In summary, Dabney's career as a Civil War chaplain and soldier is difficult to assess with accuracy because he did not participate long enough in either office to be noticed" (Sean Michael Lucas, Robert Lewis Dabney, 117).
