The Letters of Dennis Ford tells the true story of an Irish immigrant, a father, and a soldier who fought through some of the deadliest battles of the American Civil War.
Through his own words—letters written from camps, battlefields, and captivity—we follow Dennis Ford’s journey from working-class laborer to war survivor.
He fought at Antietam and Fredericksburg.
He was captured three times.
He made it home.
But the war never truly left him.
This is not just a war story.
It’s the story of a man… and what it cost him.
Dennis Ford served in the 28th Massachusetts Infantry, one of the core regiments of the famous Irish Brigade in the Union Army.
The Irish Brigade was composed largely of Irish immigrants and became known for its discipline, courage, and extremely high casualties.
They fought in some of the most intense battles of the Civil War, including:
- Antietam (1862), one of the bloodiest single days in American history
- Fredericksburg (1862), where the brigade suffered devastating losses attacking fortified positions
- Chancellorsville (1863), another brutal engagement against Confederate forces
The 28th Massachusetts earned a reputation for fighting at the front lines, often taking the heaviest fire.
Like many soldiers in the brigade, Dennis Ford endured repeated combat, loss of fellow soldiers, and the physical and psychological toll of continuous warfare.
His experience reflects that of the Irish Brigade as a whole—resilient, battle-tested, and marked by sacrifice.
