Product Information
From the founder of IrishCentral, a fascinating piece of Civil War history: Lincoln's relationship with the immigrants arriving in America to escape the Irish famine. "If you're a Lincoln fan like me, you'll love this book." --Liam Neeson When Pickett charged at Gettysburg, it was the all-Irish Pennsylvania 69th who held fast while the surrounding regiments broke and ran. And it was Abraham Lincoln who, a year earlier at Malvern Hill, picked up a corner of one of the Irish colors, kissed it, and said, "God bless the Irish flag." Renowned Irish-American journalist Niall O'Dowd gives unprecedented insight into a relationship that began with mutual disdain. Lincoln saw the Irish as instinctive supporters of the Democratic opposition, while the Irish saw the English landlord class in Lincoln's Republicans. But that dynamic would evolve, and the Lincoln whose first political actions included intimidating Irish voters at the polls would eventually hire Irish nannies and donate to the Irish famine fund. When he was voted into the White House, Lincoln surrounded himself with Irish staff, much to the chagrin of a senior aide who complained about the Hibernian cabal. And the Irish would repay Lincoln's faith--their numbers and courage would help swing the Civil War in his favor, and among them would be some of his best generals and staunchest advocates.

Reviews
"We've had Thomas Cahill's excellent How The Irish Saved Civilization and now Niall O'Dowd has penned a terrific book that should be titled "How The Irish Saved The Union." O'Dowd introduces us to a wealth of Irish characters who had an enormous impact on Abraham Lincoln and the outcome of the Civil War. Just some of them include the old Irish White House door man Edward Mc Manus, who was one of the very few people who could make Lincoln laugh with his Irish tales (much to Mary Todd Lincoln's annoyance), the legendary (and controversial) Archbishop of New York John 'Dagger' Hughes, his friend and confidante (and Irish revolutionary), hero Thomas Francis Meagher, and another Irish confidante, General Michael Corcoran. Both of the latter men fought and won decisive victories for the North, along with the diminutive General Philip Sheridan (head of the Union cavalry). We learn of the extraordinary courageous acts of bravery of women like Jennie Hodgers from County Louth, a transgender soldier, and "Irish Biddy," who followed her husband into battle and famously saved many wounded soldiers by dragging them off the field and returning to repeat this action many times. She stood a little over 5 ft! Then, of course, we had the legendary Pennsylvanian Irish 69th, who certainly won the battle of Gettysburg for Lincoln and ultimately saved the North. Abe apparently grabbed an Irish flag and kissed it upon after the battle of Malvern Hill and declared "God bless the Irish!" Delve into this book on any page and you will find delicious little stories of the affection our most loved and cherished President had for our race who were considered at the time as Catholic rabble by many on the east coast. If you're a Lincoln fan like me, you'll love this book." -- Liam Neeson, award-winning actor, "We've had Thomas Cahill's excellent How The Irish Saved Civilization and now Niall O'Dowd has penned a terrific book that should be titled "How The Irish Saved The Union."

As the book reveals, he was deeply touched by their outstanding role in his life and by their sacrifices in his battle to preserve the fragile flower of democracy."-- Tim Pat Coogan, historian and best-selling author of The IRA , Michael Collins , and Wherever Green is Worn, "We've had Thomas Cahill's excellent How The Irish Saved Civilization and now Niall O'Dowd has penned a terrific book that should be titled 'How The Irish Saved The Union.'

It also reads like a great historical novel that will engage any reader who picks it up. Niall O'Dowd has burrowed into the archives and presented us with a fast-paced narrative populated with wonderful historical characters such as the Confederate priest Fr. Patrick Bannon, the great Union Generals Meagher and Corcoran, and the Irish transgender Union Hero Albert Cashier/Jennie Hodgers. Underpinning these wonderful stories of Irish and Irish American heroes, heroines, and villains is the complex relationship between Lincoln and the millions of Irish who found refuge from famine and oppression in America, and who helped the Great Emancipator defeat slavery and cement America's democracy. This is not only an important book but as engrossing a read as I've come across in a long time . "-- Terry George, Oscar-winning writer and director of Hotel Rwanda , In the Name of the Father , and Some Mother's Son
