About Our Experience In The Irish Brigade: Fredericksburg
Carrying a common spirit and sense of duty, Aaron and Allen Landis joined the Union Army in the summer of 1862 during the American Civil War. The experiences in a soldiers daily routine, the exhausting marches, the proximity to death, the exhilaration of battle, the camp frolic and fireside revelry, and camaraderie in a unique time of strife and struggle are the main themes to this story. Human emotion is the link between our lives and theirs. These personal reflections, mostly forgotten when discussing war are the elements that truly make this story worth reading and remembering. The letters progress over a two-year period between Fredericksburg and Petersburg, Virginia, and unfold with a touching and clear voice that could be spoken by a neighbor, brother or friend. Their sarcastic, matter-of-fact style resonates with our modern human experience. The siblings tell their thoughts and feelings of the adventures of two young men involved in America’s most prolific and epic struggle. I fell in love with the story and I hope you do to. Enjoy.
