Cinnamon is a siamese and about 18 years old. She is very very vocal and usually talks while I try to record. I stopped trying to get her to not do it and now I just accept her commentary to everything I do. In fact, she's meowing as I type this...

Thank you, mam. I have the wonderful people at Blockade Runner to thank for it.

@@thorwaldhrodgerson6220 You are quite welcome Sir :-) I will have to check them out. They surely made you look quite distinguished and handsome..commanding even lol.

My ancestor came over in 1848. Yes, it's amazing what these people were capable of! Thank you for the comment.

Anon Nymous Wow!! Do you know what Company he was in?

Check out the Civil War Digest and the 2nd US Sharpshooters.

@@josephgonzales4802 second this. Those guys are awsome

Thank you, sir! Look for upcoming videos on the Civil War uniforms and equipment.

You are welcome, sir.

ayyy holla

Did atun-shei mention this guy?

@@HistoryBoy yeah did atun shei films mention him

The enlisted ranks wore their rank on the sleeve of the coat, while officers wote in on the shoulder. If you look at the modern army dress blues, you will see they do it to this day.

@@thorwaldhrodgerson6220 Thanks for your response…so, would a Civil War NJ officer ever have the interwoven lines stitched on the forearm area of the sleeve? Similar to how the Confederate ones were?

@tonygsell2134 perhaps. State uniforms were a whole different ballgame as officers had to buy their own. However, as the war went on, they usually went into battle wearing uniforms very similar to the rank and file. You might be able to find photographic evidence of such ornament on sleeves of federal officers, but most likely it was very very rare.

It is! I'm a huge LotRs fan.

I love them. They are a great company with fantastic service. I highly recommend them.

@@thorwaldhrodgerson6220 I love Blockade Runner too, Connie is very nice!!

Young America and Ould Ireland Lyrics And Chords ​All credit goes to David Kincaid for the research and for including this on his album "The Irish-American's Song". The song is narrated by a soldier in the famous Irish Brigade of the Union army, and the aspiration that one day they might put their military training to use in an American-led liberation of Ireland (which could very well have come to fruition, had the Fenian raids been successful). The air used for this song is called "Darling Ould Stick" and it was written in the early 1860s. Guitar chords by Robert Morrow. [G] It’s a soldier I am, and I’m wearing the green; [C] With the boys of the [G] army a-[C] fighting I’ve [D] been; With my [G] knapsack and gun, whereso[C]ever I [G] be, Sure it’s Union I [C] fight for, till [D] Ireland is [G] free. [G] Oh then let me be living or dying, [C] It's a sigh for the old sod I'm [D] sighing, [G] But the tyrant I'll [C] still be [G] defying In [C] America's [D] Irish [G] Brigade! In the seven days’ fight, sure I stood at my post, And each pop of my gun made some Rebel a ghost; And whenever the word came to charge, by me soul! I made in some blaggard a bayonet-hole! Oh! Bedad, it's myself they were slighting, For the flag of the Free I was fighting, And the slaughter I made was delighting, In America's Irish Brigade! When ould Stone-wall came down like a thousand of brick, It’s meself and the boys drove him back double quick: For, we thought of Bull-Run, and our bosoms were full, And we wished we were running on ould Johnny Bull. If the boys of ould reland would mane it, Our freedom we soon would regain it, It's myself would go in with my bayonet, In America's Irish Brigade! Sure there’s hope for ould Ireland, when Irishmen learn How to handle a gun, or a bayonet turn; And, by this and by that, if we once get the chance. There’ll be rifles in England that don’t come from France! Sure it's friends we have here when we need them, Who, when starving, sent bread for to feed them, And they'll help us to fight for our freedom, In America's Irish Brigade!

Thank you!

if it’s here u, look it up in ur area

Absolutely! You can join a regiment as either a messenger or a musician. To carry a rifle you would need to be 16 and that is just for insurance purposes.

This is why people are afraid of this hobby man this is a vid for beginners and it’s ok to make mistakes as long as your learn besides i think it’s still a worth while watch to learn where to get good kit and from where
