Comments on: Brigadier General Thomas F. Meagher http://www.historynet.com/brigadier-general-thomas-f-meagher.htm From the World's Largest History Magazine Publisher Thu, 08 Jan 2009 02:54:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Rita O'Leary Mushinsky http://www.historynet.com/brigadier-general-thomas-f-meagher.htm#comment-8006 Rita O'Leary Mushinsky Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:00:33 +0000 #comment-8006 I am an "untraditional" graduate student of history, writing my thesis on the participation of the Worcester Irish in the nation-building underway in America as they arrived in the mid-19th century. 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!
