Bøger af Paul R. Wylie

Explores the history of Euro-American involvement with the Piegans, who were members of the Blackfeet Confederacy, and gives the infamous "Baker Massacre" the definitive treatment it deserves.

The Irish General first recalls Meagher's life from his boyhood and leadership of Young Ireland in the revolution of 1848, to his exile in Tasmania and escape to New York, where he found fame as an orator and as editor of the Irish News. He served in the Civil War--viewing the Union Army as training for a future Irish revolutionary force--and rose to the rank of brigadier general leading the famous Irish Brigade. Wylie traces Meagher's military career in detail through the Seven Days battles, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville.
