The 69th Regiment Armory- A Multifaceted Building in New York City

Throughout the semester, I got used to the surrounding environment. Ok, at least in most cases. I am very interested. There are buildings still today. When I walked on the way to Baruch College, I will always be watching. The building looks like a simple rectangular building. However, some aspects of architectural design attracted me. Strangely, military trucks are always parked next to the building. However, when I tried to study the building, I could not find it.

The 69 th New York State University (New York State Military) was the second unit to leave New York City when Lincoln first mobilized volunteers after the bombing of Sumter Fortress. On the 69th, under the direction of William T. Sherman of the then traveling leader, he served in the first bullish movement, then it went home and withdrew from the federal army. At this point, it was decided to procure an "Irish brigade" for government services. Many members of the 69th State University in New York joined the new 69th New York State Volunteer Team (NYSV), the first group of the New Ireland Brigade. Thomas Francis Meagher, who was expelled to Tasmania by the royal family for activities in Ireland, was elected as Irish brigade commander. . The 69th NYSV joined the 63rd and the 88th New Yorkers and joined the Potomac Army and began fighting the Confederates.

The Irish Brigade of Meagher consists of 63rd, 69th, 88th Infantry Regiment of New York, 116th Pennsylvania Infantry and 28th Massachusetts Infantry. Throughout the war, these Irishmen fought in the Potomac army. During Antietam 's battle, they were sent to Bloody Lane' s deep - seated coalition status and lost 60% of their power. A few months later, remnants of the Meherher brigade were ordered to resist the Allied forces position of Mary Heights during the battle of Fredericksburg. In attacks characterized by the intense resistance of the Southern Alliance, they received praise from enemies and comrades. South Confederate General James Long Street believes Ireland's condemnation is "the most beautiful of the whole war." General Robert Lee said:

In New York there are two people, one of the most famous Irish celebrities in the country, Michael Corcoran and Thomas Francis Megger. When he refused to show his troops when he visited the city in 1860, Col. 69 New York Municipal Militia Colonel, Colonel Cocorun Wells gained fame or accusation. Under the disobedient order, Concord faced a military trial war that compelled him to redistribute it to the corps. The 69th was one of the first volunteer units arriving in Washington with Split Spring, which was a good fight in the first bull run, and the Corcoran was caught. The active commander refused to release him parolees, being a prisoner of Richmond in exchange after one year, became the first Irish hero in battle.
