This was the march of the Irish Brigade The designation of the first regiment in the brigade, the 69th New York Infantry, or the "Fighting 69th", continued in later wars. The Irish Brigade was known in part for its famous war cry, the "Faugh a Ballaugh", which is an anglicization of the Irish phrase, fág an bealach, meaning "clear the way".
Union....the southern Irish brigades didn't really have war cries, or marches, or all that stuff. Just a Erin go braugh flag, the confederate flag with a Irish harp on it, and that was pretty much it. Except the Tennessee Irish brigade that had the sons of Erin flag

Just think, this was the last thing most of the Lakota heard at Washita. All because the bugle had frozen and they couldn't signal charge. So, Custer had them play his favorite song "Garry Owen" on fife and drum to signal charge!!!!
When I visited the Battle of the Little Bighorn I swear I could hear the screaming of horses and this tune faintly in the background. I haven't been back.
When I visited the battlefield I too felt the ghosts from both sides. I heard that fife and drum as it played in my head. I tracked its ancestry and came up with its history. A regiment lives forever.
This is such a great pop song, more popular today than when it was first a big hit. It turned out ta be, by coincidence, the perfect marching/riding/cavalry melody, tune and/or beat best suited for natural rhythms of marching horses and men. It fits like a glove, but then too, to have the gary owen be the regimental song for an unbroken line of generations now of usa 7th cavalry is very fit, good and great - i could dance to it if i could dance. I think many Indian musicians, like buffy st marie, have even started singing it at annual pow woes, but it doesnt sound like this version at all, yet still sounds superb, translated successfully across ethnic lines; blending, melting, changing, progressing, as usual, only in america.

General Custer was a hero,of this there's no question, that's taking nothing away from the Indians they had every right to do what they did, but Custer was a good and faithful soldier, times were different then, he did what he had to do
Truth, Rocky. Most are unfamiliar with his Civil War record, and that he was just doing exactly as directed by President Grant. I wonder how many of these armchair warriors would succeed on such rolling terrain and difficulty in communications.

I was sorry I put my command structure in jeopardize ... This was more than fifty years ago and yes, I still hate this music... What can I say, honestly?
Idk. But the Native American was the bravest most ingenious of all the warriors. So we salute you. But as a white man I still love my Irish songs. I must apologize for our cruelty against your people. I suppose we could compare it to the cruelty of the Romans to the ancient Brits. Nonetheless it is a grave injustice and I am sorry. I hope one day your people can feel comfortable as Americans. Just know that like the Brits overcame the Roman to build an empire your people to may build a powerful coalition. History is funny that way. Keep your chin up and don’t take is whites personally
Thank you. I’m one of the snare drummers in this fife and drum corp. we are based out of Northern California. Not many of us left anymore. Some died, some moved away some just don’t play much anymore. We were at our best during these recordings.
The Brigade Commander told us to "Hold the line, boys! Hold the line!! I'll return with the Brigade!!" For 2 long days and nights we held the line against a ferocious and determined enemy, when at dawn on the third day as the enemy massed for one last attack, from our rear we heard the sound of Fife and drum. The Brigade had returned!!!
Got to agree. I respect the modern US Army in large part because they'd refuse to ride out to slaughter a bunch of women and children. Celebrating Big Horn is just weird.
Tamlan Dipper That same argument could used against the natives, who were just as brutal against other tribes. So “woke” praising the natives, on a civil war Garry Owen March video.
It’s ok to criticize Custer, because, he was not supposed to be doing some of that. That he did not do even a quarter of what the Indians did on their raids is not the point. Man is pretty much the same the world over. Some have found something better, and those are worse in one way, and one way only. They are worse, because it is their business to be better.
This would sound great, played with full fife and drum, at the head of a column of U.S. troops marching through Red Square in Moscow. There at the invitation of the government of the Federal Republic of Russia, to celebrate Russia’s joining NATO. Unlikely? I saw something like it a few years ago in Berlin. Great tune!
What country do you live in? Just trying to figure out if it's an issue of ignorance (not meant in a bad way), or lack of concern due to not being a US citizen.
yep yep. When Irish settlers came tot eh US they often found signs that said, "HELP WANTED Inquire within. NINA" which stood for "No Irish Need Apply". There was a fear and hatred of Irish. One of the few places Irish were guaranteed a job was out west in the Cavalry. Custer heard some of the Irish Cavalrymen singing this song around the campfire and the rest is history.
The 69th and 7th are two completely different regiment of the United States Army who happen to share the same march. The 69th, an infantry regiment, had it first. The 7th is a cavalry regiment.
ITS OURS TOO BUT U PINCHED IT IT THE 17,[/ 21 LANCERS SCOTS GREYS AND BLUES WELSH REGS AND IRISH GUARDS A TUNES WE PINCED FROM THE JERRYS WAS LILE OF MARLINE 8TH ARMY
At Washita, Custer and 700 men of the 7th Cavalry crept up on an unsuspecting native American village and played “Garryowen” to signal the start of the battle before plunging into the village and destroying everything and everybody around them. Up to 100 men, women, and children were massacred.
Cav Troopers are a different breed. Usually made up of Texans, Okies and some Kansans Who grew up playing Cowboys and Indians. The 7th’s Bravery comes from Custer himself. A true ‘White Warrior’. If you as a Private see your General Leading every charge it does something special. Custer had quite a few horses shot out from under him. At Little Bighorn, many Indian Warriors say he Died laughing. And by the way, I hope someday Custer will stop being made out to be someone he wasn’t. Lies, Lies, Lies. Told to you by who? TV Programming and Leftist College Professors. What he did at Gettysburg is why Our Union Won that war. If he hadn’t gave been there, Jen Stuart and his 6,000 Cavalrymen would have had a field day on the Yanks. Pickets Charge certainly never would have happened and boom. We’re the Confederate States of America.
6,000 cavalry attacking entrenched positions uphill doesn't sound like a game changer to me. Cavalry in the Civil War was used for skirmishing, foraging, and reconnaissance. The days of charges against infantry died with the wide adoption of rifled small arms. Pickett's Charge was going to happen regardless, the cavalry fighting started at the same time as the artillery bombardment on the Union center. J.E.B. Stuart was deployed to attack retreating Union forces after a successful Pickett's Charge. Obviously, Lee's gamble was not as rewarding as he had estimated.
No, but Cheyenne women pushed sewing needles into his hears. Years before he'd sit down and made a treaty with a Cheyenne chief and smoked with him. Afterward the chief knocked out the ashes onto Custer's boot and warned him that if he ever broke his word it would mean his death. The women said they were trying to "help him to hear better next time."
@@Strawberry-12. it was actually selected by the US 7th Cavalry as a marching song. It was the last song played for Custer before he was defeated by Natives.
Beaux Beauty Blog yes I know but it is and Irish tune about drinking and causing mayhem. The 7th Calvary wasn’t the only regiment to use it as there march. The 69th NY and other regiments of the Irish brigade used it in the civil war while beat Johnny reb.
True, though. And thanks for not calling them ‘native Americans’. The indegenious peoples were outside the nation. Not even automatic citizens till 1927. Just as well for them. Most of the men would have all been arrested and hanged for robbery and murder and assorted atrocities otherwise. Note that this is a cultural thing, despite the attempts of some to make it racial. You can find this in primitive man all over the world.

And all because he couldn't spell 'Connecticut'.
That sounds about right. Although is it Irish or Scottish?
Any ideas?

A constant reminder of the Lakota prevailing over the dastardly colonizers. Music to my ears 😁✊✊✊
Beaux Beauty Blog it’s actually a song of the Irish fighting spirit. In Europe and America
@@Strawberry-12. it was actually selected by the US 7th Cavalry as a marching song. It was the last song played for Custer before he was defeated by Natives.
Beaux Beauty Blog yes I know but it is and Irish tune about drinking and causing mayhem. The 7th Calvary wasn’t the only regiment to use it as there march. The 69th NY and other regiments of the Irish brigade used it in the civil war while beat Johnny reb.
Beaux Beauty Blog So woke, brave and stunning. The Lakota would be so thankful and proud of you, commenting on a Garry Owen Civil war March video.
True, though.
And thanks for not calling them ‘native Americans’. The indegenious peoples were outside the nation. Not even automatic citizens till 1927.
Just as well for them. Most of the men would have all been arrested and hanged for robbery and murder and assorted atrocities otherwise.
Note that this is a cultural thing, despite the attempts of some to make it racial. You can find this in primitive man all over the world.
