Civil War Duet by David B Morris

Newton Brown in 1862 enlists at eighteen in the 101st Ohio Volunteer Infantry. In Civil War Duet, his 77-year-old great-grandson traces Newton's steps, braiding history and memoir in an original cross-century, trans-generational, coming-of-age narrative. Newton Brown's wartime letters and dispatches inspire a parallel meditation in which writer-scholar David Morris--living where Confederate monuments generate ongoing racial strife--reflects on growing up amid political assassinations and the legacy of semi-blind white-supremacist racism.
