Irish Bend & New Orleans

Hi, Jamie. Yes, you're right. Thanks to a tip, I found a book about the regiment on line. It said that soldiers wounded at Irish Bend were taken to New Orleans, where some died, as did my great-grand uncle. He was only 18. Very sad. My great-great-grandparents had 16 children and lost about half of them for various reasons.

Thank you again,

Clare
