Join Corcoran's Legion: A 69th NYSM Recruitment Poster
Own a piece of Irish-American history with this carefully remastered recruitment poster for the 69th Regiment of the New York State Militia. This was the foundational regiment of the famed Irish Legion, a brigade commanded by the heroic General Michael Corcoran.
This poster called upon Irish immigrants and their sons to take up arms for their new nation while honoring the heritage of their old one. The central emblem is rich with meaning: the harp of Ireland, transfigured into an angel of justice, is surrounded by a traditional clover wreath. The design bypasses common military motifs for a direct appeal to cultural pride and identity, a unique approach in Civil War recruitment advertising.
This faithful reproduction makes a thoughtful gift for any Civil War historian, a descendant of the Irish Brigade, or anyone who appreciates the deep and complex history of New York.
