I thought that some list members might be interested in this biography of Col. Patrick Henry O'Rorke. He was one of the first Irishmen to attend West Point and graduated at the top of his class in 1861. He was killed while leading his troops on Little Round Top at Gettysburg. http://www.ororkebridge.com/Bio.htm A bridge under construction over the Genesee River in Rochester NY has been named for him.
