Brother Against Brother: A Collection of Civil War Short Stories

ADD TO WISHLIST >

For those of you who want to experience the War Between the States in one sitting this is the book for you. Brother Against Brother is a collection of 6 Civil War short stories and 2 excerpts written from both Union and Confederate points of view. 

This collection gives readers many different perspectives: drummer boys, brave-hearted soldiers, a prisoner of war, and even a young lady waiting at home for the war to end. On every page feel their terror, determination, pain, relief and joy.

The Littlest Soldier

A young orphan enlists as a Union drummer. What great feats can the littlest soldier accomplish?

Bittersweet Parting

This is an excerpt from Grits and Glory. Abolitionist, Peter Warren leaves behind his fiancé in order to fight for a cause he believes in. 

Taste of War

A soldier sees the elephant for the first time. His experience is eye opening and he soon learns that war isn’t what he expected. The hype from the patriotic lads back home had been a bunch of lies.

Confederate Mascot

This is an excerpt from Journey to Glory. Told partly from a dog’s point of view, he and his young master enlist in the Confederate Infantry. 

In Desperate Straits

A poor southern woman comes across a message for help. When he finds the wounded Union soldier she thinks that they can actually help each other.

Elijah’s Promise

Elijah lied about his age so he could enlist as a musician. Brought up as a Quaker he doesn’t believe in war, and he wanted to avoid the draft. But will war change his beliefs?

Prisoner of War

Thomas Lindt was eating breakfast at his sister's house when a knock at the door turned his life upside down. Union soldiers have taken possession of their Southern town and have orders to torch the place. Taken prisoner, Thomas is surprised to know one of the Yankee colonels. His old friend offers him a temporary parole. Can he set his sister's life back to rights before his time runs out?

A Soldier’s Reflections

A Civil War veteran reflects on the war and shares his wisdom with his grandson Robbie who wishes he’d been a drummer, too.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
