D. P. Conyngham
The Surgeon of CrowthorneD. P. Conyngham appears in the book as the author of a historical work on the Irish Brigade, cited among the resources on the American Civil War and the fighting in which William Chester Minor played a small but consequential part. The available evidence establishes his connection to that book, but provides no further biographical details.
Published Work
Conyngham’s 1867 classic, The Irish Brigade and Its Campaigns, is recommended as a relevant account of the fighting. The book was reissued by Fordham University Press in New York in 1994, with an introduction by Lawrence F. Kohl. Its inclusion places Conyngham’s work within the historical reading used to contextualize the war, rather than describing Conyngham himself or his personal connection to Minor.
