About this book
A winter crowd outside Salford's New Bailey Prison opens this account of the Manchester events of 1867 and their impact on Irish political feeling. T. D. Sullivan writes from an openly Irish nationalist position, presenting Michael O'Brien, William Philip Allen and Michael Larkin as patriots whose deaths deserve remembrance. The narrative then turns to the arrests of Fenian leaders Thomas J. Kelly and Captain Deasey, connecting individual lives with the wider struggle over Ireland's future.
Prison scenes, appeals for mercy and a letter from Caroline Queensbury give the account a personal and religious dimension. Her promise to support the prisoners' families sits beside the uncertainty raised by reprieves and the public efforts of London artisans on their behalf.
