Company D

Drafted into the Civil War they never wanted to fight, John and Frank Shorey served side by side in the Third Maine Infantry. Same company. Same tent. Same war. They even wrote letters home together. Then two bullets changed everything. Episode 12 traces the remarkable journey of two inseparable brothers from a Maine brickyard to the battlefields of Virginia.
