Publisher's Summary

Louisa May Alcott's short story "The Brothers" is set during the Civil War. Narrated by a wartime nurse, the story tells of one white brother and the other, who is half black, who meet in a hospital. Due to a previous grudge between them, the black brother tries to kill the white brother. Preaching the religion of humanity and kindness, she draws from her personal experiences to create this amazing work. This piece first appeared in The Atlantic Monthly in November 1863.
