Bonnie Shaljean - the accounts you and I noted do not differ. Other Irish Confederate regiments, including Gannon's 6th Louisiana were at Fredricksburg and reacted the same way as the 24th Georgia. I hope you do read the Gannon history. Great book. Le Scaramouche tens of thousands of Irishmen joined the ACW willingly and for mostly for patriotic,idelaistic reasons. History and literature is quite certain about that. Late in the war, when consription was enacted, some were drafted. Joining for "a hot meal" was simply not part of the picture.
