Explore the history and legacy of one of the most renowned military units of the American Civil War—The Irish Brigade. This episode examines the experiences of the Irish immigrants who fought for the Union, their motivations, challenges, and the key battles that defined their service. We even take a look at the claim—popularized by Gods and Generals—that the brigade made Cobb’s Legion cry at Fredericksburg. From Antietam to Gettysburg, we analyze the leadership of figures like General Thomas Francis Meagher and discuss the broader impact of the brigade on both the war and Irish-American identity. Featuring expert insights from LBGs Chris Army and John Fitzpatrick, historical accounts, and engaging storytelling, Ask A Gettysburg Guide: The Irish Brigade offers a deeper understanding of these soldiers’ contributions and the complex world they lived in. Whether you're a Civil War enthusiast or simply interested in Irish-American history, join us as we uncover the real stories behind the legend.
