Campaigning with the Irish Brigade: Pvt John Ryan, 28th Massachusetts edited by Sandy Barnard 2001 First Edition Hardcover with Dust Jacket NEW!
John Ryan, a 16-year-old laborer from West Newton, Mass., enlisted in the 28th Massachusetts on Jan. 1, 1862. From that date until 1876, except for several months, Ryan was an enlisted man in the United State Army. For 10 of those years, he served as a trooper in the 7th Cavalry, surviving the battle of Little Bighorn. He returned to West Newton upon his discharge, enjoying a good life until his death in 1926. As a member of the 28th Massachusetts, Ryan participated in many of the major campaigns and battles in the East. In November 1862, the regiment joined the renowned Irish Brigade, taking the place of the non-Irish 29th Massachusetts. From then until December 1864, upon his discharge, Ryan served with the brigade. He ended his Civil War service with a six-month tour of duty with the 61st Massachusetts.
