These make me yearn to go back to Gettysburg to walk the battlefield and then stop in at Garryowen Pub for a pint of Guinness and a wee dram of fine Irish whiskey. Thanks for these, Tim!
Thank you for sharing the monument’s dedicated to the Irish at Gettysburg. Also the dedication to Father Corby. Thank you for sharing this part of History! Tim you’re the best. ❤️💯👍👊
Another great Monuments Monday video! I'm Scots-Irish.....so yeah, I do consider myself just a wee bit Irish lol and the Irish Brigade monument holds a very special place in my heart. Interesting information.
Most of the so-called Scotch Irish considered themselves Irish. This term was an American term to differentiate them from the Catholic Irish. My great grand uncle died on July 2, 1863. He was from County Clare and was in the Massachusetts regiment of the Irish Brigade.
I loved your interesting information about Irish participation in the Battle of Gettysburg!! I certainly agree about Scots not being Irish !!! Thank you so much for your excellent content every week. You present such interesting facts in an easily understood presentation. Wonderful opportunity to keep aGettysburg alive and viable
The three Ney York regiments of the Irish Brigade had an authorized strength of around 3,000 men. They fought at Gettysburg as a consolidated battalion of six companies, two from each regiment. Thus the addition of two other regiments to bring them up to something approaching an actual brigade. To be honest, none of the units at Gettysburg were anywhere near their authorized strength. Union regiments averaged around 250 men and Confederate regiments were somewhat larger at around 350. The brigade that was at the aiming point of Pickett's charge, the Philadelphia Brigade, was largely Irish.
Fantastic as always!
Tim… thanks for doing this every week… I thoroughly enjoy your presentations and appreciate your research and hard work!

Another awesome Monuments Monday … keep up the great work Tim!
when i come in April for my 50th birthday bash, i am definitely doing Dobbin House, Farnsworth House and Gerry Owen for my culinary delights.
Great video as always. I wish Tim had sung the Irish song to us! Thanks for all your work (and the little humourous comments when things go wrong.)
We LOVE these!

My great-grandfather (Kenney) was in the Mass 9th and great-grandfather (Kelley) was in the Mass 20th and killed at Pickett's charge.

I’ve attended Mass celebrated at the Fr. Corby monument. It was poignant 🙏
