Few brigades of the Civil War can boast of a record as
distinguished as that of New York's 69th, yet it has never fully
received the attention warranted by its record of military
excellence, distinctive reputation, and the unusual perspective its
members brought to the Civil War. In fact, the 69th was engaged in
nearly every major action of the eastern theater; its military
reputation was well deserved and its combat casualties, which are
some of the highest of the war, are testimony to the soldiers'
collective bravery and patriotism. In his post as war correspondent
for the New York Herald, Capt. David Power Conygham was required to
be an eyewitness to the many battles on which he reported - some of
the experiences he would later describe when writing the history of
the Irish Brigade. Conygham's account of the Irish Brigade is one
of the best - filled with vivid accounts of battle, wit and humor,
and an appendix of scrupulously gathered biographical data on the
men who served the unit.
