A Civil War Tale

By Trinka Hakes Noble ● Pictures by Robert Papp
Gabe is only eleven, but on a Civil War battlefield, even a boy’s bugle call can carry life-or-death meaning. At Gettysburg in 1863, Gabe serves as a Union Army bugler and tries to protect his older brother Davy, the last brother he has left. He knows the calls, understands his duty, and wants to be brave. Then he meets a young bugler from the Confederate side, and the sharp lines of war begin to feel painfully complicated. The Last Brother is a tense, compassionate historical picture book about family, friendship, and moral courage in wartime. Readers who like American history will find a personal story set inside a major Civil War battle, told through the eyes of a boy forced to think about loyalty, loss, and humanity.
