Jack Brubaker

Jack Brubaker's seventh book, "Sons of East Tennessee: Civil War Veterans Divided and Reconciled'' (McFarland., 2022), focuses on two Civil War veterans who fought on opposing sides. They met for the first time at their sons' joint burial service in Knoxville National Cemetery following their deaths in the Spanish-American War. East Tennessee's and the nation's reconciliation narratives of the late 19th century frame their story.

Penn State Press published "Down the Susquehanna to the Chesapeake" in 2002. The History Press published "Massacre of the Conestogas'' and "Remembering Lancaster County'' in 2010. Brubaker also has written articles for American Heritage, Civil War Times, Pennsylvania Heritage and the Journal of Lancaster County's Historical Society.

The author wrote The Scribbler, an LNP (Lancaster, Pa.) newspaper column exploring the history, culture and humor of Lancaster County, from 1979 to 2025.

Brubaker is at work on a book about growing up on a Lancaster County farm where three generations of his family ran an Underground Railroad station and a later generation ran one of the largest duck (yes, duck!) farms in the U.S.
