Alexander and James Campbell emigrated from Scotland to the United States as teenagers in the 1850s and settled in vastly different regions of the country - Alexander in New York City and James in Charleston, South Carolina. When the Civil War broke out , Alexander and James opted to fight for their adopted states and causes. This book tells the remarkable story of these two brothers through nearly eighty wartime letters to family and to each other.
