I posted the list of US Catholic chaplains from this magazine last night. This particular issue was devoted to Irish during the ACW. Of course it's long out of print, but if you can somehow find a copy I think you'll enjoy it. The articles are: "Blue Gray and Green: The Fighting Irish" by Jack McCormack. Focus on Irish at Gettysburg. "Patrick Ronayne Cleburne: Southern Soldier-Citizen" by B. Franklin Cooling. A bio on General Cleburne. "The Irish Brigade Greets St. Patty's Day". Sidebar with sketches of what looks like the 1863 celebration. "The Ideal of a Soldier and a Gentleman" by Brian Bennett. A bio on Colonel Patrick Henry O'Rorke. "Their Faith Brings Them" by Ben Maryniak. Irish Catholics and their chaplains in the Federal Army. "It was Open, Defiant Rebellion" by Leo Ward. Irish miners in the Pennsylvania coal fields and the story of the Molly Maguires. "Virginia's Fighting Irish" by Kevin C. Ruffner. Story of the 1st Virginia Infantry Battalion. The regular column "I was There" is a letter from James McKay Rorty of Donegal to his father, dated 15 Nov 1861, explaining his motivation in becoming a lieutenant in the 14th New York Independent Battery.
