Tip of a Hardee hat to the Black Hat Brigade. A great unit that was decimated on the first day at Gettysburg.
IIRC, they were also known as the Iron Brigade, some very tough men from , Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. I think July 1, 1863, was the one and only time they ever fled on the field of battle. When after a bloody fight, the Tar Heel’s chased them through the streets of Gettysburg.
As a past member of the Iron Brigade, I forward your salute!
