It's undeniable that the Army of the Potomac did some hard fighting in its career - but what was the best brigade in the army? Of course, it seems the obvious choice will be the Iron Brigade, and while I think I'd ultimately choose them, I think I'll give a few honorable mentions. The Philadelphia Brigade, especially the 69th Pennsylvania, was regarded as one of the best in the army, and I think their performance on the third day Gettysburg should prove that. Of course, there is also the Eastern Iron Brigade, which included the 14th Brooklyn "Red Legged Devils", the Irish Brigade, the Gibraltar Brigade, the Vermont Brigade, and the New Jersey Brigade, among others.
