The History show on RTE Radio (state owned agency) is covering the ACW tonight. I'll put up the podcast when it becomes available.

So, I'm interested in hearing this. The poster below, references an "Irish Brigade". The reality is that it is for a largely Irish regiment and more specifically Company "B" of what would become the 115th PA volunteers. I have ancestors that served in this company.

Please do link the discussion. Shiels did an excellent job on the Antietam and Beyond podcast last year and I'm looking forward to hearing this as well.
