The Reverend J. Peter G. Muhlenberg delivers his “Time of War, Time of Peace” sermon to his Lutheran congregation in Woodstock, Virginia.  At the end of which, Muhlenberg removes his ministerial robe to reveal his officer’s uniform, and then enlists 162 men into the Commonwealth Militia.

       Postscript: The next day, Colonel Muhlenberg rode out of the county at the head of the 300-strong Eighth Virginia Volunteer Regiment.
