Abstract

This study is based on a collection of Civil War letters written by Sergeant George Tipping, an Irish immigrant to Buffalo, New York, who fought with Corcoran's Irish Legion in the Northern Army. The Tipping collection contains over 100 letters written over a two-year period beginning in October, 1862. The original letters are in the possession of this writer's family in Buffalo, New York, and a microfilmed copy of the collection is on deposit at the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society.
