Vermont's Irish Rebel: Capt. John Lonergan
Author: William L. McKone
Paperback, 590 pages
As a boy, John Lonergan was forced to leave his home in Country Tipperary when British misrule of Ireland brought on famine and rebellion. On growing to manhood in Burlington, Vermont, he dedicated his life to restoring the nationhood of his native land. He formed Vermont's only ethnic unit--his "Irish Company"-- to fight for the Union in the Civil War and was awarded the Medal of Honor for gallantry at the Battle of Gettysburg. Rising to leadership of the militant national Fenian Brotherhood in the Green Mountain state, Lonergan fought in the Irish invasions of Canada in 1866 and 1870. His life is an inspiring tale of unswerving devotion to Ireland and equal loyalty to the united States.

Civil War Animal Heroes: Mascots, Pets and War Horses
Author: Charles G. Worman
Hardcover, 285 pages
For centuries animals have gone to war involuntarily, and our Civil War was no exception. A countless number of four-legged and winged creatures served as soldiers' and sailors' pets, sharing the hardships of military life on land and sea. A few gained national prominence as regimental mascots. The stories of these animal heroes were drawn largely from memoirs, regimental histories, and Civil War letters. They offer insight into a little studied aspect of this very uncivil war's history and should be of interest not only to students of that conflict but to animal lovers as well.
