HISTORY IN NORTH AND SOUTH
The Regiment has gone under many names in the past, such as 72nd Pennsylvania, 5th Texas, and 13th Iowa. Due to lack of interest and overall bordom the regiment was disbanded for a time being to allow for a break. We need you, to make our Regiment as great as it was in real life

HISTORY OF THE REGIMENT
This regiment, known as the 1st Irish regiment, was organized at Indianapolis and was mustered in Dec. 11, 1861. The regiment moved to McMinnville, Tenn., and later to Louisville as part of Matthews' brigade, Van Cleve's division, Crittenden's corps. It was in the pursuit of Bragg, participating at Perryville and in numerous skirmishes. It was then inactive at Nashville until December, when it was in a severe skirmish at Dobbins' ford near Lavergne, while on a foraging expedition. It participated in the battle of Stone's river, losing 29 killed, 72 wounded and 33 missing. It remained in the vicinity of Murfreesboro until the march for Chattanooga commenced, and was in the battle of Chickamauga, with heavy losses. It was assigned to the 2nd brigade, 1st division, 4th corps, and took part in the Atlanta campaign. At Kennesaw mountain it was in the front line and received a fierce and unexpected attack, but rallied from a momentary confusion and fought hand-to-hand with clubbed muskets and bayonets until finally, with the assistance of another regiment, the enemy was driven back. The 35th lost 11 killed, including Maj. Dufficy, and 54 wounded. At Marietta it advanced on the skirmish line, captured the enemy's rifle pits and 28 prisoners, although two other regiments were repulsed. Being greatly reduced in numbers, it was assigned to train-guard duty until Aug. 31. It participated in the engagement at Jonesboro, entered Atlanta Sept. 9, and later marched in pursuit of Hood's forces into Tennessee. Reinforced by 400 drafted men and substitutes, it was placed in the front line at Franklin and repulsed a charge on the works. It took a conspicuous part at the battle of Nashville, and participated in pursuit of the enemy as far as Duck river, at which point it was detached and assigned to the charge of the pontoon train. It next moved to Huntsville and Knoxville, but returned to Nashville in the spring of 1865, when it was ordered to Texas, and remained there until mustered out Sept. 30, 1865.
