Publisher Description A hired man on a farm in Juneau County, Wisconsin, 17-year-old James Patrick Sullivan was among the first to answer Lincolns call for volunteers in 1861. Sullivan fought in a score of major battles, was wounded five times and was the only soldier of this regiment to enlist on three separate occasions. "An Irishman in the Iron Brigade" is a collection of Sullivans writings about his hard days in President Lincolns army. Using war diaries and letters, the Irish immigrant composed nearly a dozen revealing accounts about the battles of his brigade - Brawner Farm, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, as well as the fighting of 1864. Using his old camp name, "Mickey of Company K", Sullivan wrote not so much for family or for history, but to entertain his comrades of the old Iron Brigade. His stories - overlooked and forgotten for more than a century, are accounts of rough-hewn "Western" soldiers in the Eastern Army of the Potomac. His Gettysburg account, for example, is one of the best recollections of that epic battle by a soldier in the ranks.He also left a from-the-ranks view of some of the Unions major soldiers such as George McClellan, Irvin McDowell, John Pope and Ambrose Burnside. "An Irishman in the Iron Brigade" is in part the story of the great veterans movement which shaped the nations politics before the turn of the century. Troubled by economic hardship, advancing age and old war injuries, Sullivan turned to old comrades, his memories and writing, to put the experiences of his life in perspective.
