There is a fascinating article online, written in 1862 by James Turner of New York's 'Irish-American' newspaper. Under the pen name Gallowglass, Turner reported on the battle of Antietam for the newspaper. The reprint is courtesy of The Wild Geese, and can be found at: http://www.thewildgeese.com/pages/turnpt1.html You will also find a brief bio on Turner, a native of County Louth.
