520 1 $a"When President Lincoln issued his call to arms in 1861, the 63rd, 69th and 88th New York Volunteers were among the first to step forward. Comprised mainly of first and second generation Irish immigrants, these three regiments were later joined by the 28th Massachusetts and the 116th Pennsylvania. Suffering heavy casualties, this Irish Brigade under the command of Thomas Francis Meagher became one of the most legendary fighting groups of the Civil War." "This work provides a balanced, historically factual picture of the Irish Brigade and its commander, focusing on the role that the Brigade played in the Seven Days' battles and at Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. Frankly discussing the tendency of contemporary sources to distort and glorify the actions of Meagher and the Irish Brigade, it presents an objective history based on broad research. Primary sources range from veterans' memoirs published just after the war to letters and memoirs published as recently as 1996."--BOOK JACKET.
