This is the compelling story of three brothers who fought on opposing sides during the American Civil War. Born and raised in Tennessee, which was a slave state, it illustrates how the American Civil War not only divided a country, but also families. The Walker Brothers; Samuel, Lewis, and Napoleon, were normal men of their time, trying to make a living for themselves and caring for their families. But as battles over politics, sovereignty, and slavery divided the nation they felt they had to choose a side. But which side would each brother choose?Written by Edward Leo Semler Jr., he is the author of several other books including "The Three Gunsallus Brothers - Fighting For Pennsylvania During The Civil War."
