One of the little-known tales of the Civil War involves the fighting outfit formed by Irish rebel Thomas Francis Meagher. The Union's Irish Brigade built an unusual reputation for bravery and gallantry, having fought throughout the war, from First Bull Run in 1861 to the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court House in 1865. The regiments were small, but highly effective, and Meagher, who had fought for the independence of Ireland from Britain, threw himself into the contest for union and liberty. This enthralling, well-illustrated story of a colorful, little-known hero and his brigade includes detailed accounts of their battles and skirmishes throughout America's Civil War.
