Company D

The Shorey brothers never wanted to be soldiers. John and Frank worked at their father's brickyard in Norridgewock, Maine, and hoped to avoid the Civil War altogether. But when the draft caught up with them in 1863, the brothers had no choice but to enlist. They became inseparable: same company, same tent, same war. Then two bullets changed everything. The full episode drops on June 14.
