We'd a fascinating afternoon with Kevin, a font of knowledge about Cappoquin, which covered a myriad of topics connected to the town's rich heritage including the Blackwater, Boyles, bridges, billiards, bacon and bread!

Of all my years working on the Irish in the Civil War this has been the most moving and emotional, as we unveiled this important memorial to the men who died at Andersonville and their families. Enormous thanks to @IrelandAtlanta, @NI_Bureau, @dedalusdenaries & @DarraghOBrienTD.
Historic moment today at @andeNHS, the deadliest site of the American Civil War, as @DarraghOBrienTD dedicated a plaque to the hundreds of Irish and Irish Americans who died there. There are more Irish interred there than at any other site from the American Civil War.

We'll have a second infographic later this week, examining the service of the first 850 #AndersonvilleIrish. You can explore the full database of these men and the interactive map of where hundreds of them were from in Ireland over at the project page: irishamericancivilwar.com/an… 7/9
