a black day in Irish history Fredricksberg may those who fell be given the healing they need. Blessings to them from their own isles. May they know no more pain or horror.
aye, and just as dark was the battle at Antietam. Even though the Union did win, Bloody Lane cut down part the 69th New York (540 men) under Colonel Thomas Francis Meagher. The only consolation from that is that they aided the greater cause by helping to force the Confederate withdrawal.
Sure Thing... They are: Cold Mountain Gods and Generals Gangs of New York Glory I actually got the idea from a scene in Gangs in New York, but most of the Irish Brigade scenes are from Gods and Generals...
The song mentions General Meagher-an Irishman who made it by hook and crook to Americay. His celebrity and allegiance to the Union Cause made him a perfect political appointment to raise Irishmen to "fight for Lincoln." He was given the brevet rank of Brigadier General, around whom the Army of the Potomac's Irish Brigade was formed; not to be confused with Corcoran's Legion.
This is the song that we all who wish to inmigrate to America should listen to....
So glad I found You . Michael
