American Civil War

One of our authors, Ian Kenneally, is researching the Irish in the American Civil War and is looking for your help. The American Civil War impacted hundreds of thousands of Irish people, both in the United States and Ireland. Despite this huge level of Irish involvement, little is known in their home country about their experiences. A large number of sites in Ireland are either directly connected with individuals who fought in the American Civil War or were centres of activity relating to the conflict. The Irish American Civil War Trail is an initiative established by a group of individuals based in Ireland, who are dedicated to heightening the recognition of the Irish contribution to the conflict across the island. 

If you have any information, please get in touch by clicking here. Ian's books are Courage & Conflict - Forgotten Stories of the Irish at War and From the Earth, a Cry - The Story of John Boyle O'Reilly. Both books are available in paperback from all good bookshops and online from www.collinspress.ie. They are also available as eBooks from our eBook distributor DirecteBooks.com as well as all other etailers. Click on the links below for more information.
