In The Last Brother the story of one small boy is told amidst the dramatic events of those early days of July. Though he is only 11 years old, Gabe is a bugler in the Union Army. He takes his responsibility very seriously; after all, there are over 60 different battle calls for buglers to learn. But what is even more important to Gabe is watching over his older brother Davy who, as a foot soldier, is right in the thick of the fighting. Two of Gabes older brothers have already perished, and he is not willing to lose the only one he has left. During those long days, Gabe meets another young buglerone who fights for the other side. Suddenly, what was so definite and clear has become complicated by friendship and compassion. Does one have to choose between service to country, to kin or to a friend? As the cannons fire and the battle rages on, Gabe must do his duty while searching for a way to honor all that he holds dear. 569746 30 6 2006 The Last Brother: A Civil War Tale (Tale of Young Americans) total:13|5:1|4:1|3:1|2:0|1:0| 13 56 16 4 4 0 false false Thu Oct 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 13:48:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 14:37:41 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 21:40:42 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 22:11:56 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Nov 05 17:36:18 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 17:41:59 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri May 09 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 15 11:26:58 -0700 2008 Thu May 15 11:44:34 -0700 2008 This lovingly-told and beautifully-illustrated book was based on the author's own family history at...more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Oct 10 10:31:43 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 10:31:43 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Oct 10 09:57:54 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 09:57:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 07 18:20:18 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 18:20:32 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Feb 10 08:06:52 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 08:06:52 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 11 19:56:41 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 19:56:41 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Dec 25 16:10:56 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 25 16:10:58 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon Oct 20 20:02:48 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 20 20:02:48 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jul 19 21:16:52 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 19 21:16:52 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Jul 15 08:29:50 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 08:29:50 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sat Mar 08 16:11:08 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 08 16:11:47 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Jan 22 17:23:18 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 17:23:18 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Sep 15 11:51:30 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 15 11:51:28 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 15 11:51:28 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=582877
