receiving the five heroic and gallant charges of the Irish Brigade,
whose prodigies of valor have filled the country with admiration. I
saw the devoted Irish charge up to our breastworks, to be mowed down
by a line of Confederate fire that no soldiers could withstand. I
saw the Irish battalions cut down like grain before the reaper, yet
the survivors would magnificently close up their ranks only to have
huge gaps again cut through them. When forced back they rallied and
came bravely on again, only to be riddled with bullets and torn by
artillery. Their fifth charge was made with greatly decimated ranks
that slowly recoiled like the waves of a tempestuous sea. When
twilight descended upon the scene, a spectacle was presented
unequaled in warfare. At least three fourths of my command was
composed of men of Irish descent and knew that the gallant dead in
our front were our kindred of the land beyond the sea. When, one by
one, the stars came out that night, many tears were shed by Southern
Confederate eyes for the heroic Federal Irish dead.” During the war
Colonel Sanders was offered the rank of brigadier-general but
declined the same.
