The artwork is from a painting Titled "35th Indiana Volunteers - 1st Irish Regiment". The 35th Indiana (1st Irish Regiment) was organized on December 11th 1861 as a three-year volunteer unit made up exclusively of Irishmen. In May of 1862 the 35th received recruits from the partially organized 61st Indiana (to be called the 2nd Regiment) who had difficulty recruiting enough Irish to form a 2nd regiment. Many of these men from the 61st were issued the French inspired Chasseur uniform trimmed in green. Early in it's enlistment the 35th Indiana was issued a distinctive green kepi manufactured by Bamburger's as well as trousers trimmed with a green stripe on the outside seam to display their Irish heritage. After it's initial training, the 35th Regiment would go on to see it's first major action at the battles of Perryville Kentucky and Stones River Tennessee where they held a crucial position on the extreme left of the Union line and suffered severe casualties. The Irishmen would continue to be in the thick of the fight at almost every major battle in the Western theater including: Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Ringgold Gap, The Atlanta Campaign, Franklin and Nashville.
