The 69th New York Company 'C' 'GreenHearts' 1457
3697
The 69th New York History:
The 69th NY has it's roots in the NY State Militia (NYSM) that fought at Bull Run, after the debacle the unit returned to NY city and was re-formed under Brigadier General Thomas Meagher (Ma-Her). The 69th became one of three regiments of Irish immigrants or men of Irish ancestry. The other two Irish units that formed the core of the brigade were the 63rd NY and the 88th NY.
The highest compliment paid to the brigade came from non other than Robert E. Lee. Lee commented that General Mc Clellan's cavalry couldn't ride and his infantry couldn't fight, except for the Irish. The green flag of the Irish Brigade was feared by it's foes and respected by the commanders of the union army. The deeds of the Irish brigade are legendary.
The brigade was known for it's antics in camp, whether it was tossing a sutler in a blanket or driving a mule in full uniform through the Colonel's tent. Under fire the brigade was known to joke under fire as if they were out on Sunday picnic.
