Synopsis
Excerpt from The Quaker Soldiers: A True Story of the War for Our Union
IN the long roll Of names made immortal by the war recently closed, there are few around which more interest clusters than those Of the brothers ketcham. Not that their services were more arduous, or their deaths more heroic, than were those Of thousands of others in the Federal ranks, but that they were representatives Of a Society which for two centuries has opposed war, strife and bloodshed - the Society Of Friends and that their names will live as The Fighting Quakers.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a heartfelt tribute to the lives and sacrifices of Edward and John Ketcham, two young Quaker brothers who, despite their pacifist upbringing, felt compelled to fight for the Union during the American Civil War. Their story is told through their own letters, providing a fascinating glimpse into the realities of camp life, the horrors of battle, and the complexities of their personal journeys. While Edward joined the army from the outset, John initially stayed home to support their widowed mother but eventually felt the call to duty as well. The author skillfully weaves together the brothers' experiences with the broader context of Quaker history, revealing the internal struggles and profound faith that shaped their decisions. Through their intertwined narratives, this book explores themes of patriotism, the limits of pacifism, and the transformative power of war. Ultimately, it serves as a moving testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring legacy of those who fought for their beliefs during one of the most pivotal conflicts in American history.
