However, the quote attributed to Meagher, "Come on, boys ! You have got your chance at last!", appears to have been uttered by Colonel Cocoran. John Stevens Cabot Abbott, 1863, The history of the Civil War in America, p. 176 Hmmm, interesting. However, the quote attributed to Meagher, "Come on, boys !

Many of my ancestors were a part of this nation-building and my thesis is also meant to be a legacy for my children and grandchildren, most of whom haven't a clue of their roots. (I am nearly 81 years old.) I was happy to find this article on Meagher because I am completing a chapter on the Civil War (Fredericksburg in particular) and want to include excerpts. Professors, however, don't like material gleaned from the internet, and so I wonder if you can possibly tell me when this material appeared in the magazine? Thank you.

Shortly after the battle, the Confederate impulsively swam across the river to return the flag to Meagher.) Very interesting, thank you for any help!
