    About this ebook

    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.

    Haley Whitehall

    Haley was telling stories before she could write. When she was four, she woke her parents up to write down her burning ideas. Growing up on John Wayne movies and the Little House on the Prairie books, she has always loved historical fiction. For ten years Haley developed her writing craft and voice by studying authors such as Avi, Ann Rinaldi, and Mark Twain to name a few. She received her B.A in history through Central Washington University. During all her research, her soul was pulled deeper in the 19th century U.S. Using her words to transport people back in time continues to give her a thrill. Sometimes she wishes she could escape the present and float down the Mississippi River on a raft. But then again, just writing another historical fiction novel is a much safer journey.
