Mexican and Irish Musicians Team Up to Tell War Story
Clip: 11/2/2022 | 4m 23sVideo has Closed Captions
Chicago musicians are telling the story of a little known event from American history.
By any measure, the story of St. Patrick’s Battalion is extraordinary. During the Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848, a group of Irish immigrants deserted the U.S. Army to fight alongside Mexican soldiers. But however remarkable the story might be, it’s a chapter of history that’s not especially well-known in the U.S.
