It was often said that during the American Civil War, brothers fought against brothers. Mostly they fought on opposite sides but they didn't see each other at the same battle. This book tells of a rare exception and follows two brothers, one in the 2nd Virginia, Stonewall Brigade, CSA and the other from the 87th Pennsylvania, USA as they fought against each other in two battles in the Shenandoah Valley during 1861-1863. The story is based on over 90 letters from the participants and other members of their regiments, the regimental records, and official records of the conflict.
