The Irish Brigade are one of the most celebrated union combat units from the American Civil War. But while many know they took part in the Battle of Gettysburg, what they precisely achieved is often treated as an epilogue to earlier exploits in the war. Today we will be walking in the footsteps of the aprox. 500 men left carrying the Emerald flags to The Wheatfield at Gettysburg.

This is a remarkable presentation. At least as marvelous as this presentation is the knowledge, the commitment and the enthusiasm of these young presenters. That these young people are so devoted to the memory and the importance of these events at Gettysburg is a refreshing beacon of light to all historians of the Civil War as well as to historians in general. These young people are showing us that history is not dead and gone. History is crucial to understanding not just our past, but to an appreciation and understanding of our present. It is wonderful to imagine how grateful and excited the soldiers who participated in the monumental events of Gettysburg and especially those who gave the last full measure of their lives on these fields would be about the work, devotion and skill of these dedicated young folks of 2024.

I was in Gettysburg that weekend and saw you guys filming in the Wheatfield. I didn't want to bug you, but what a great and well researched video! Keep up the good work!

The campus at Notre Dame University has a replica of Father Corby blessing the troops and it is known as "Fair Catch Corby."

Raising new regiments was also a good way for politicians to promote their friends. As it was not only New York which did his I suggest this was the usual motive for an inneficient system which cost a lot of lives.
