Description: A Civil War battle in which Irish fought Irish. As the Union's Irish Brigade advances on Confederate positions, banners flying, the defenders cheer. The discipline is a sight to warm any Irishman's heart, which is what the 24th Georgia Volunteers is composed of. So when their turn comes, they reply in kind--on the order to fire, they fire.
Notes: "A Thomas Dunne book."
