A Donnybrook at Dusk
by
Bradley Schmehl
The famous Fighting 69th NY regiment stormed down Malvern Hill screaming in Gaelic "Clear the Way!" as they mixed it up with the rambunctious Louisiana Tigers. The 10th LA, also composed of many recent immigrants from Ireland, engaged in a near fratricidal hand-to-hand struggle with their northern brethren.
This frenetic "donnybrook" in the July 1, 1862 dusk was the last conflict in rearguard action at this storied battlefield thus insuring safe Union Army passage to Harrison's Landing. For the Confederate Army the retreat meant that the gates of Richmond were secure for another 3 years.
Each print is accompanied by a battle essay.
