How did Indiana's Iron Brigade get its name?
"The Iron Brigade" was composed of the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, 7th Wisconsin, 19th Indiana, and later the 24th Michigan. It was originally the Fourth Brigade, First Division, First Corp, Army of the Potomac, and served originally under Brigadier General John Gibbon. It later become the First Brigade, First Division, First Corp, Army of the Potomac, under the command of Solomon Meredith. It was originally called the "Black Hat Brigade" for its distinctive "Hardee" hats, provided at the personal expense of General Gibbon. At the battle of South Mountain, as it charged Colonel Alfred H. Colquitt's Georgia and Alabama brigade, commanding general George Brinton McClellan was told that the "Black Hat Brigade" was advancing. Listening to the roar of the musketry, and realizing that the Black Hats must have been advancing into a hailstorm of bullets, General McClellan is said to have remarked, "My God! Those men must be made of iron!" The story spread, and the brigade's name changed from the Black Hats to Iron.

Where was the iron brigade?
The Iron Brigade was a Union brigade during the Civil War. It was composed of Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan men. Made up of 2nd, 6th, and 7th Wisconsin, and the 19th Indiana regiments, and the 24th Michigan volunteers. Closely associated with it was battery B of the 4th U.S. Artillery. The Iron Brigade seems so have had more men killed in battle than any other Federal unit. Additionally, the North may not have won the Battle of Gettysburg had it not been for the Iron Brigade. The United States' most famous "Iron Brigade" would be that which was the First Brigade, First Division, First Corp, Army of the Potomac. It was the only all Western brigade serving with the Army of the Potomac during the American Civil War. It was originally called the "Black Hat Brigade" after their distinctive "Hardee" style hats, issued to them at the personal expense of their original commander, Brigadier General John Gibbon. The Iron Brigade experienced its first battle as a unit at the Battle of Brawner's Farm or Groveton, on August 28, 1862. The brigade at the time was composed of the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, 7th Wisconsin, and 19th Indiana. Only the 2nd Wisconsin had seen combat. Toward evening, they were marching north northeast on the Warrenton Turnpike when a Confederate battery deployed to their left. When General Gibbon ordered skirmishers forward, they discovered thousands of Confederates concealed in the woods. Sending in the rest of the brigade, they were met with a vicious volley that felled dozens of men, and since most of them had never been in combat before, it would not have been out of the ordinary for the entire brigade to break and run in panic. But instead, the Black Hats not only did NOT run, but they halted and returned a volley. For an hour and a half, the two lines, composed of Confederates from Ewell's and Taliaferro's Divisions and the Federals composed of Gibbon's Black Hat Brigade and two regiments from Doubleday's Brigade shot each other to pieces at a range of hardly 75 yards, easy range for the rifles both sides were equipped with. When darkness fell, neither side fell back, and both sides were aiming at the muzzle flashes of the opposing sides' rifles. Eventually, the Federals fell back in good order. The Black Hat Brigade suffered 900 casualties of the 2,100 engaged, but they had gone toe to toe with some of the best units in the Confederate Army and the "green" troops had held their ground admirably. Several weeks later, at the Battle of South Mountain in Maryland, on September 14th, 1862, the Black Hats (at this time they were the 4th Brigade of the 1st Division, 1st Corp) advanced against Colquitt's Brigade, and drove the veteran and well placed defenders back to the top of the mountain. They lost 318 men in the attack. Witnessing the charge from several miles away and hearing how furious the firing was against the Black Hats, General George B. McClellan is said to have remarked, "My God! Those men must be made of iron!" The name stuck, and from then on, the Black Hats would be called "The Iron Brigade." At the Battle of Antietam/ Sharpsburg, the Iron Brigade was one of the Federal units that advanced through the famed Cornfield on the battlefield. Elements of the Brigade struck part of the famed Confederate "Stonewall Brigade," perhaps the most famous Civil War unit of all time. The Iron Brigade met the Stonewall Brigade head on and swept them from the field and continued on to the main Confederate line in the West Woods, where they were finally called back because they had outpaced the rest of the Union units that were attacking. They lost 380 men in their short fight. They were lightly engaged at Chancellorsville. On July 1st, 1863, they were among the first Union infantry to arrive at the Gettysburg battlefield. Now including the 24th Michigan, the Iron Brigade crashed head on into Archer's Confederate brigade, some of the most tenacious attackers in the Confederate Army. After the Confederates fired a tremendous volley, they expected the Union troops to run, thinking they were only militia. But by now the Iron Brigade's black hats had become so iconic and feared by Confederates, that the Confederates stopped cold in their tracks. One Rebel is said to have shouted, "There are those d*mn Black Hatted fellows again. Tain't no militia, it's the Army of the Potomac!"The Iron Brigade charged, and captured hundreds of prisoners, including General Archer himself, the first of Robert E. Lee's generals to be captured in combat. Union Major General John Reynold's was shot as he personally led the Iron Brigade into the woods, shouting, "Forward! Drive those fellows out of there! Forward, for God's sake, Forward!" (In case you haven't noticed, it always seems that the Iron Brigade is fighting the best units in the Confederate Army and winning every time.) The 6th Wisconsin, meanwhile, had been held in reserve, and spearheaded a charge on Confederates who had occupied a Railroad Cut. They, too, captured hundreds of prisoners. Later that afternoon, however, fresh Confederate troop under General James Pettigrew hit the depleted Iron Brigade. Heavily outnumbered and outflanked, the Iron Brigade fell back under overwhelming pressure. After a heroic defense of McPherson's Ridge, they fell back through town and took up defensive positions on Culp's Hill, where they were lightly engaged for the rest of the battle. The brigade lost about 70% of its men in hardly an hour of combat. It inflicted 75% casualties on a single North Carolina regiment. Much of the unit was sent home on furlough after the battle. Eventually enough were reorganized, but "Eastern" regiments filled its ranks, and much of the unit pride was lost, although it served faithfully for the rest of the war. They remain one of the most respected units in United States history to this day.
