    There is a very powerful scene from Gods and Generals where US and CSA Irish brigades are fighting each other at Fredricksbug.
If you haven't seen, well worth the rental.

    In 1861 there was no West Virginia. It was still all one state; Virginia.

    I'd love to see this monument if and when I ever visit the land of my father's lineage again... 
 
This is moving and beautiful, the pride the Irish take in the Ireland-America connection and the Irish and Irish heritage contribution to this great nation. Much to be proud of...
