history

The Civil War was a conflict which, especially in the border states, tore families apart, even pitting brother against brother. This project is for those civil war soldiers who had siblings serving on the opposing side of the conflict.

Private Jonathan Poe Keener of the Union Army had two brothers, Elias Elbert Keener and William Jasper Keener, who fought for the Confederacy.
