of Bull Run. Corcoran was wounded
upon the field and taken prisoner
with some of his staff by the enemy.
The charge of the Sixty-ninth, strip
ped of knapsacks and overcoats,
across the open country, in a brave
but unfortunately vain attempt to
capture the Confederate batteries,
was pronounced as gallant feat of
arms as any that had ever been per-
formed in the brave days of old"
Meagher's Zouaves suffered deperate-
ly; their gallant Captain, who was
Acting Major, had his horse shot from
under him, but the intrepid rider i'm
mediately bounded on his feet, and
shouted: Remember Ireland and
Fontenoy." Thrice repulsed they
rallied and reformed, Corcoran lead
ing them each time to renewed as
sault until they were finally ordered
by Colonel afterwards the great Gen.
eral, w. T. Sherman, to fall back.
Gen. Mcdowell extended to them his
personal thanks.
To tell the story of the Brigade
you'd be practically to recite the his
tory of the civil war. II was attached
to Hancock's division of the Second
Corps of the Army of Potomac, COM
manded by that most skillful General
and most illustrious of American
soldiers, Major-Gep. George b. Nc
Clellan. Among the great battles par
ticipated in by the Irish Brigade, in
rapid succession, were Fair Oaks,
Savage Station, Malvern Hill, An
tietam and Fredericksburg. The valor
displayed bymen and officers on these
memorable fields must dwell forever
in the memory of mankind. Inspired
by the traditions or the old brigade,
the Brigade of O'Brien, Dillon, Laliy
and Sarsfield, the Brigade of Landen,
Families and FontenOy; aroused by
the burning eloquence and encouraged
by the intrepid daring of their
idolized leader, mindful of the wrongs
which exiled them from their native
shores, grateful to the fair land that
welcomed them to home and liberty,
there was no danger they were not
ready to face, no suffering they were
not prepared to endure, no odds too
great for them to encounter. Some
idea of the terrible havoc from which
the Brigade suffered may be formed
when it is remembered that at An
tietam alone the killed and wounded
among officers and men numbered a
total of $40 and that five more than
that number, or 545, fell in the his
toric charge on st. Marye's Heights,
that most bloody quarter Of a mile
ever rushed over by armed men in
all the annals of strife and struggle
that are preserved in the archives of
the human race.
These decimated regiments with ac-
cessions from other commands to
preserve their brigade organizations,
kept on still giving glorious account
of themselves. and earned additional
laurels by splendid fighting and pro-
portionately terrific loss at Chancel-
louisville, Gettysburg, Spottsylvania,
Cold Harbor and many other engage
ments until the final surrender at APP
pomatox and the fall of Richmond.
In the war with Spain the regiment
enlisted again for two years, Edward
Duffy being the Colonel.
