<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This edition is published by arrangement with Longstreet House, New Jersey"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The unveiling of the Irish Brigade Memorial at Antietam this year focuses attention on one of the most colorful units of the American Civil War. Despite its distinguished record and key role in the war, no detailed history of the brigade has been written in 130 years. Made up largely of New York Irishmen, the Brigade made a decisive contribution to the Union victory at Antietam, suffered fearfully in a gallant charge at Fredericksburg, and made a famous stand in the Wheatfield on the second day at Gettysburg, as depicted in the recent film. The full co-operation of the present-day 69th New York National Guard helped make possible the compilation of this detailed account, which includes 13 period maps and 270 illustrations, many of them rare photos from private collections. The original hardcover limited edition of Bilby's book quickly sold out to re-enactors, veteran and active members of the 69th Regiment, and hard-core Civil War collectors; the Combined Publishing trade paperback is the first edition made available directly to the general public. Joseph G. Bilby is a popular columnist for the <i>Civil War News</i> and a veteran of the current 69th Regiment. He is also the author of <i>Civil War Firearms.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Joseph G.
