Book Synopsis Giants in Their Tall Black Hats by : Alan T. Nolan
Book excerpt: On August 28, 1862, at Brawner Farm in Northern Virginia, the brigade saw its first significant action. From that time forward - at Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg - the Western soldiers earned and repeatedly justified the proud name Iron Brigade. And when the war was over, the records showed that it led all federal brigades in percentage of deaths in battle.
