The Last Union Captain Patrick DeLacyThe Last Union Captain

“. . . one of the most gallant men that ever wore a uniform . . . ”

-- Charles M. Conyngham, DeLacy's original commanding officer

Patrick DeLacy was a highly respected officer in the Civil War. He fought in every battle of the 143rd Pennsylvania Infantry—including Gettysburg and the Wilderness—and he received the nation's highest military award, the Medal of Honor.

This is the story of an American who served his country and community with what famed Gen. Joshua Chamberlain personally called “faithful and exceptionally meritorious service.”
