Published by H. De Marsan, Publisher of Songs, ballads, toy books, &c, New York. 10.5  x 6.5”Beige sheet, w/patriotic bordering, slightly chipped along lower margin. Else VG plus. Sample verse quatrains:

The gallant Fire-Zouaves they fought like lions brave;

So did the Massachusetts most manfully behave

Likewise the Twenty-Seventh their foes they did not shun

But the glorious Sixty-Ninth was the terror of Bull-Run

Long life to Captain Meagher, that Irish blood of fame

Who wore the Harp and Shamrock upon the Battle Plain.

Who said unto his warlike me: Remember Fontenoy!

Then the whole, at large, withy bayonet’s charge, soon

Did their foes deploy.

When the gallant Colonel Corcoran lay prostrate on the ground

Weary, and fatigued, and exhausted from his wound

He cried unto his gallant men; Brave Boys, I’m not undone,

We’ll make them pay some other day for the Battle of Bull-Run!

Over ten long hours, we fought most manfully

Against four to one, a fearful odds of men we could not see,

Until, amongst our teamsters, a panic had begun:

Then we did retreat, but were not beat at the Battle of Bull-run!

Fine 69^th New York/ Irish Brigade memento.  [jp]
