The Iron Brigade, 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Brawner's Farm, August 1862 by Chris Collingwood.
The Iron Brigade initially consisted of the 2nd, 6th, and 7th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiments, the 19th Indiana, Battery B of the 4th U.S. Light Artillery, and was later joined by the 24th Michigan. This particular composition of men, from the three Western states, led it to be sometimes referred to as the 'Iron Brigade of the West'. They were known, throughout the war, as the 'Black Hats', because of the black, 1858 model Hardee hats issued to Army regulars, rather than the blue kepis worn by most other Union Army units. Battle of Second Manassas, Brawner's Farm, August 28, 1862. In order to draw Pope's army into battle, Jackson ordered an attack on a Federal column that was passing across his front on the Warrenton Turnpike on August 28. In a fierce firefight in which the opposing lines were scarcely 100 yards apart, Jackson's men locked horns with the Midwesterners of Brig. Gen. John Gibbon's Black Hat Brigade, known thereafter as the Iron B.........

The Patriots of 61 by Keith Rocco.
For many Americans, the early months leading up to, and during, the first year of the Civil War, were months spent in a flurry of patriotic activities. Few have expressed these times better than H.E. Sterkx, In the beginning patriotism became the prevailing emotion of the day and it affected old and young alike with the determination to do something, almost anything to help. Some designed flags for the republic, others made banners and delivered presentation speeches for local military units, and there were still many more who dedicated themselves to the tremendous task of encouraging men to enlist in the armed forces. It was a time like no other-- because it offered a rare opportunity for females to participate in public affairs. The roles which women played in supporting the war -north and south- through their domestic talents were noted, and honored, and praised at the time. Today, however, they are often overlooked. For the vast majority of women, contributions to the war effort .........

Lions of the Hour by Keith Rocco.
The VMI Cadets at the battle of New Market, May 15th, 1864.
Throughout that Sunday, May 15th, 1864, the Federal and Confederate armies fought over possession of Jacob Bushong's orchard and wheat field near the town of New Market, Virginia.Suffering the combined effect of the Union muskets and artillery's canister rounds, the center of the rebel line, companies from 51st, 30th and 62nd Virginia regiments evaporated. Confederate General Breckinridge quickly realized his options: repair the gap in his line or fall back. With the VMI cadets as his only available reserve, he hesitated. 'Put the boys in,' he commanded at last, 'And may God forgive me for the order.'The cadets moved forward in characteristic parade ground precision, suffering their first casualties as they descended the slope leading towards Bushong's Farm. The fire intensified around the outbuildings and the mud pulled at their boots. Struggling forward through the churned up bar.........
