Description: Thomas Francis Meagher and the Irish Brigade in the Civil War. Thomas Francis Meagher and the Irish Brigade in the Civil War Daniel M. Callaghan When President Lincoln issued his 1861 call to arms, the 63rd, 69th and 88th New York Volunteers were among the first to step forward. Comprised primarily of first and second generation Irish immigrants, these three regiments were later joined by the 28th Massachusetts and the 116th Pennsylvania.
