Description

Some 150,000 Irish-American immigrants served within the Union Army throughout the Civil War (1861-1865), such a lot of them from Boston, New York and Chicago, and about 40,000 fought within the Confederate Army. The most efficient known unit was once the Irish Brigade of the Union Army of the Potomac, which distinguished itself at Antietam and, particularly, at Fredericksburg, where its sacrificial bravery astonished friend and foe alike. Famous regiments were New York’s ‘Fighting 69th’, the 9th Massachusetts, 116th Pennsylvania, 23rd Illinois and 35th Indiana. Two Louisiana Confederate brigages from New Orleans were almost entirely Irish and a couple of other Irish companies made a name for themselves at Shiloh, Chickamauga and other key battles. This book will give a brief overview of the history of the units on every side of the conflict and will probably be illustrated with uniform main points, flags and archival photographs.
