Beskrivelse af Memoirs Of Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher
Memoirs of Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher is a book written by Michael Cavanagh that details the life and career of the Irish nationalist and American Civil War general, Thomas Francis Meagher. Meagher was born in Waterford, Ireland, in 1823 and became a prominent figure in the Young Ireland movement, advocating for Irish independence from British rule. He was eventually arrested and sentenced to life in prison for his involvement in the 1848 rebellion. However, he was later pardoned and exiled to Tasmania, where he escaped and made his way to America.In the United States, Meagher became a vocal advocate for Irish-American rights and joined the Union Army during the Civil War. He led the Irish Brigade, a group of Irish-American soldiers, and fought in several key battles, including the Battle of Antietam and the Battle of Fredericksburg. After the war, Meagher was appointed governor of Montana Territory, where he worked to establish law and order and promote the rights of Native Americans.Cavanagh's book provides a detailed account of Meagher's life, from his early years in Ireland to his time in America, and explores the key events and people that shaped his career. The book also includes several letters and speeches written by Meagher himself, allowing readers to gain insight into his thoughts and beliefs. Overall, Memoirs of Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Irish history, the American Civil War, or the life of a remarkable individual who fought for justice and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
