When members of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, first arrived in antebellum Indiana, they could not have envisioned the struggle which would engulf the nation when the American Civil War began in 1861. Juxtaposed with its stand against slavery a second tenet of the Society's creed--adherence to peace--also challenged the unity of Friends when the dreaded conflict erupted. Indiana Quakers Confront the Civil War chronicles for the first time the military activities of Indiana Quakers during America's bloodiest war and explores the motivation behind the abandonment, at least temporarily, of their long-standing testimony against war.

A collection of letters and remembrances regarding the military service of Quaker brothers Edward and John Ketcham. Also included is a short memorial, as well as the burial speech given for the brothers by Reverend O. B. Frothingham. While often straying toward the realm of anti-war propaganda, this work still offers a unique twist on the more common insights of soldiers who served in the American Civil War.
