Overview

The values of two young brothers raised in a religious household are affirmed and destroyed by combat in the Civil War’s most famous unit, the Iron Brigade. Describing the battles of Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness in letters and frank journal entries, each of the boys become men for better and for worse. At the fiftieth reunion of the Battle of Gettysburg, the surviving brother bitterly sums up the meaning of the war and bequeaths its mixed results to our generation.

Praise for Brothers Gone Before

“Who better than masterful scribe Kent Gramm to craft such a compelling novel that speaks profoundly to the utter anguish of America’s Civil War. Brothers Gone Before is a stirring tale that not only chronicles two brothers’ bravery facing a formidable foe, but it also brilliantly follows the footsteps of the Union Army of the Potomac’s most vaunted fighting unit—The Iron Brigade—whose sacrifice and mettle are hardly fiction. Splendidly told like all of Gramm’s musings, this is a terrific book as it serves as a powerful reminder of how important it is to ponder war’s immense toll on souls.”
