The Irish Regiment ?!

So I was just browsing Google Books today and came across two books that describe the 11th Wisconsin as being composed “almost entirely” of Irishman. Wow, this was news to me… I was at first taken back by this. But after looking over the muster roll I quickly can deduce that this does not appear to be the case.

The books in question:

Soldiers Blue and Gray By James I. Robertson, Jr.

The Irish Brigade: A Pictoral History Of The Famed Civil War Fighters By Russ A. Pritchard, Russ A. Pritchard, Jr.

More developing…
