"The Fighting 69th" General Meagher and the Irish Brigade, Fredericksburg, Virginia, December 2, 1862
Colonel Robert Nugent points out to General Meagher the spot where the long-awaited pontoons, which arrived on November 26th, have been placed. Other well known members of the 69th are Capt. John H. Donovan (on horseback to the left with the patch over his right eye) and Major James Cavenaugh (the officer on Donovan's immediate left). Capt. Dennis Sullivan is standing at the far right. The man immediately behind him is the Rev. William Corby, who was Chaplain of the 88th NY.
Flag expert; Howard Michael Madaus was of immeasurable help in the artist’s research. So was Ken Powers, the official historian of the 69th Regiment NY.
