DESCRIPTION:
Brother Green is an American Civil War folk song which tells the story of the soldiers of Irish descent who served on both sides of the conflict, men who had crossed the Atlantic as comrades and were now fighting as enemies. Connie Dover, who sings the lyrics, was also responsible for the arrangement of the melody, adapted from the song Barbry Ellen. The song comes from the CD 'The Border of Heaven', produced by Phil Cunningham. A webpage about Connie Dover and all her music has been created by me at:

For the slideshow I have used authentic images from the Civil War, beginning with portraits taken in moments of peace, to battlefield scenes, and concluding with the images of soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The photographs come from the Library of Congress archives.
