    Exceptionally researched and keenly accurate toactual events, this harrowing novel expands uponthe story of poet Walt Whitman, whose docu-mented compassion for the wounded and dyingsoldiers of the Civil War brings him to Armory SquareHospital in Washington, DC, at the bedside of Rebesoldier William Prentiss. Just after the fighting hasended, Williams brother Clifton, a Union officer, isadmitted into another ward of the same hospital,and Whitman becomes the sole link between thetwo boys and their fractured family. Through theirstory, the narrative is swept from the hospital toMedfield Academy in Baltimore, where the Prentissfamily makes its home, and onwards to the drawingrooms of high-society Richmond and the battle-fields where North and South collide.

    With a diligent handling of the primary sources anda creative approach, David Jones has crafted a

    fine story of Maryland brothers who are Civil Warsoldiers, one in blue the other in gray.
