The 1st Fighting Irish: The 35th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, tells
the compelling story of the exile of Ireland, Hoosiers who fought
to preserve the Union of their newly adopted country. They fought
for America at a time when the "native" American "Know Nothings"
hated them for their foreign birth and Roman Catholic religion.
Wearing green kepis to celebrate the "Ould Sod" the 1st Irish shed
their red blood for the rather abstract idea of the "Union." The
text features this complex Indiana Regiment, and its southern
battles, trials and tribulations. But the true story is the many
unique and colorful individuals who made up this Celtic "Band of
Brothers." The Band was led by a Notre Dame Priest, and its
nickname was eventually bestowed on the University of Notre Dame's
athletic teams. The 1st Fighting Irish: The Indiana 35th Indiana
Volunteer Infantry, Hoosier Hibernians in the War for the Union,
provides a fresh retrospective on the "War for the Union," and
serves to help preserve the memory of these brave Irish lads.
