Gerry Prokopowicz of Civil Wat Talk Radio has an very revealing discussion with our old friend Damian Shiels talk about his new book “Green and Blue: Irish Americans in the Union Military, 1861-1865” from LSU Press. Damien has been researching the story of Irish American enlisted men during the Civil War for the last fifteen years and now he has put his great research on paper. The podcast is a great hour-long exploration of immigrants during the Civil War. This goes well beyond the Irish Brigade.
