December 1862. Union forces assault Marye’s Heights in Fredricksburg. General Meagher leads his 69th Brigade against the Confederate 24th Brigade entrenched on the high ground.
Both units are mostly Irish immigrants, many of whom faced a death sentence in their old country.
🎶 When the last moon is cast
Over the last star of morning
And the future has passed
Without even a last desparate warning
Then look into the sky where through
Through the clouds a path is torn
Look and see her how she sparkles
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive, I'm alive🎶
