He joined the US Army at the outbreak of the Civil War. After fighting at the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861 in the 69th Regiment, he returned to New York and was instrumental in the founding and creation of The Irish Brigade, which fought gallantly at many battles throughout the war.
An American Civil War legend !
During the period 1775-78, General Washington commanded three separate armies: the New England Army of 1775; the one-year army of the United Colonies, renamed Army of the United States in July 1776; and the forces established by the Continental Congress to serve for three years from January 1777, or for the duration. In this, the first of two studies by Marko Zlatich (Men-at Arms 290 continues the treatment, covering the period from 1779-83), the systems used by state and Continental authorities to procure clothing materials, the quantities they obtained and the specifications of the uniforms themselves are all examined in detail. Men-at-Arms 273, 285, 289, 290 and 292 are also available in a single volume special edition as 'Soldiers of the Revolutionary War'.
