I enjoyed Daughter of the Regiment
I loved how Maggie loved her brothers enough to follow them into battle. I also learned a little bit of history with
this novel. I knew that the majority of
the Irish American fought for the north.
What I didn't know was that the Union army had whole brigades of Irish
American fighters. I enjoyed reading this novel and look forward to finding
nonfiction books on Irish brigades to learn more.
