Steve fDenny I agree.
After the war, I believe, the battlefield was subdivided and small homes were built upon that sacred ground. It is nice to see that with donations, the historical society is able to buy up the F-burg homes when they hit the market. They then raze em, fill in the foundation and grass it over.
True about the Irish regiments. The imigrants were inducted not long after they hit the piers on Fulton Street... Have you read 'Paradise Alley'?
