Description: From Niall O'Dowd, "without a shadow of a doubt this is one of the finest irish American books ever written.... What Egan has done is restore the reputation and covered a host of details on a man I would venture to say had no peer in our history of Irish America. Egan's take on Irish American history gives this book a breadth and significance that would be very hard to match." From the front inside flap:A dashing young orator during Ireland's Great Hunger of the 1840s, in which a million of his countrymen died, Thomas Francis Meagher helped lead a failed uprising against British rule. Banished to a Tasmanian prison colony for life, he was heralded six months later in the streets of New York--the revolutionary hero, back from the dead, instantly the most famous Irishman in America. National Book Award-winning author Timothy Egan illuminates the dawn of the great Irish American story, with all its twists and triumphs, through the life of one heroic man.
