23rd Illinois Infantry

Early in 1861 a company composed entirely of Irishmen and known as the "Jackson Guard" was recruited by John W. McDermott of Detroit, who after vainly endeavoring to get a position in one of the Michigan regiments, offered their services to Colonel James Mulligan who was then recruiting in Illinois to become part of the Irish Brigade of Illinois. The offer was accepted and they left the state early in June of 1861 for Chicago, Ill. They served the entire war in that capacity.
