The story of Michael Fitzgerald is the story of a nine-year-old
Irish boy who traveled across the Atlantic without his parents to
live in the slums of Baltimore. At the age of seventeen, young
Michael enlisted in the Army at Fort McHenry and began a military
life that would take him to key areas of America's growth. He was a
young Army private in the Artillery sloshing through the Florida
Everglades in the Third Seminole War. He and his family were held
prisoners by the rebellious mob in Charleston, South Carolina after
Major Anderson fled with the folks at Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter.
For his efforts as a field medic he became a hospital steward and
helped care for the thousands of men wounded and killed at
Antietam. For his actions in Frederick during this time he became a
commissioned officer, serving on the West Coast and the Great
Plains. During his career he married four wives, the first two in
the frontier wilderness. Michael Fitzgerald was a witness and
participant in American History. This book follows Michael's life
and directs our attention to how and where his life intersected
with the making of America.
This book is a facsimile reprint and may contain imperfections such
as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.
