A propos de cet article

BOOK DESCRIPTION: 599 pgs. Facsimile reprint of the 1867 original. Decorated gilt front cover and gilt titled spine. With dust jacket as issued. CONDITION DESCRIPTION: Fine. Interior with former owner's blind stamp on title page, else clean and tight. CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: The Irish Brigade consisted of the 63rd, 69th, & 88th New York Infantry, with the 28th Massachusetts, Infantry, and the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry. The Irish Brigade distinguished itself from the rest of the Army of the Potomac by Col. Thomas Francis Meagher's insistence on arming the 8 line companies of each NY regiment with Model 1842 smoothbore muskets, an obsolete weapon that was largely phased out during 1862, because he wanted his men to be able to fire buck-and-ball shot (a .69 caliber musket ball with four smaller balls), which produced a shotgun effect in close-range combat and could not be used with rifles. The three original New York regiments carried Model 1842 muskets all through the Army of the Potomac's campaigns and battles in 1862–63, using buck-and-ball shot with deadly effect in the Sunken Road on September 17, 1862 at Antietam and in the Wheatfield on July 2, 1863 at Gettysburg. REFERENCES: DORN NY #167. NEVINS I pg 73:”One of the early brigade histories that concentrates on the unit’s first campaigns; some recollections are included.” EICHER 1040: “This is a valuable albeit early and occasionally confused treatment of a famous unit of the Army of the Potomac…the brigade assembled a glorious record of fighting at many of the eastern battles and was well known for some colorful characters within it.”.…
