Does anyone know anything about the Honorary Iron Brigade or how to obtain records from that organization? Shirley Pearson
Hi, Barnes & Nobel had a book for sale by Alan D. Gaff, "On ? Bloody Soil." The sub title was Four Years with the Iron Brigade. Mentioned Co. B of the 19th INDIANA Infantry. Wasn't Mrs. Bean from Indiana? Might try a google search for "Iron Brigade Association". Don't know if they are still in existence.

Thank you, Joan. Yes, from Muncie. It was her father who was in the famous 19th Indiana with the Iron Brigade. There are several really good books on that subject, at least one with excerpts of her father's, Robert I. Patterson. I understand there is an Honorary Iron Brigade (not sure about the name) to which she was accorded membership because of her father. Mike and I are interested in finding out if that organization or one called (possibly) Sons of the GAR. Mrs. Pearl Bean was our great aunt. Her grandfather died of complications from an injury received in the Civil War - Samuel R. Patterson, RI's father. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joan To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 2:06 PM Subject: Re: [ILLASALLE] Iron Brigade Hi, Barnes & Nobel had a book for sale by Alan D.
