"Our Brothers Gone Before is the title of a two volume set of reference books that document over 40,000 Civil War veterans burials in the state of New Jersey. The project began in earnest in 1989 and continues even though the books were published by Longstreet House in August of 2006. Chuck Eckhardt, my co-author, and I are currently searching for over 10,000 veterans who had ties to New Jersey and whose names were found in the 1890 Veterans Census, New Jersey GAR Post necrologies, newspapers, county records, etc."
