About this title

Synopsis

The poet and Irish patriot John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890) led a life as adventurous and dangerous as any fictional hero. His Fenian activities in England resulted in tranportation to Western Australia. Against all odds he escaped from his convict working party, boarded and American whaler and eventually reached Boston. In America, he became a successful newspaper editor, orator and champion of Irish immigrants and racial minorities. His death at th age of forty-six shocked the nation. Tony Evans draws on O'Reilly's poetry and writings - some which have only recently been discovered - to reflect the events which shaped O' Reilly's life.
