CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: Conyngham, born in Ireland, arrived in the United States in April 1861 and joined the staff of the New York Herald, and was a war correspondent with the Irish Brigade. By March 1863, he was a captain, serving as an aide-de-camp to fellow young Irelander General Thomas Francis Meagher. He continued to file reports with the Herald. Conyngham was wounded in the Battle of Resaca and mentioned in dispatches for bravery. DORN III #2549 "Author served all through his (Sherman's) brilliant campaigns as volunteer aid-de-camp and war correspondent". NEVINS I pg. 73 "An indispensable for anyone studying Sherman's famous campaign; written by a New York Herald correspondent who observed much and recorded all that he saw." COULTER 89: "Conyngham was not only interested in army movements and military affairs, which he describes fully, but was also concerned with the conditions of the people and the country through which he passed. He described the attitude of the civilians towards the war and the reaction of the slaves toward their deliverers. He devoted considerate attention to the pillaging and devastation wrought by Sherman's army and described most realistically the horrors of war. In these respects, the work is notable among the many accounts of Sherman's march." MULLINS / REED 20: "A primary source for any study of Sherman's Atlanta and Carolina campaigns. The author, a reporter for the New York Herald, was a penetrating and perceptive observer.".…

CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: The Irish Brigade consisted of the 63rd, 65th, & 88th New York Infantry regiments, with the 28th Massachusetts Infantry, and later, 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. 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.". …
