The Immortal Irishman: The Irish Revolutionary Who Became an American Hero
by Timothy Egan, 2016, Kindle Edition, Mariner Books
I don’t know what to think about this book. It was somewhat interesting and had a lot of information about Thomas Meagher and his exploits, but didn’t really grab my attention as it should have. The book was well researched but seemed to just get into it and then bounced to another subject or venue. I thought it was pretty well written and covered the life of a fascinating individual who initiated a uprising in Ireland in 1948, was sent to a penal colony in Tasmania, fought in the U.S. Civil was as a Union general, and eventually became the governor of the Montana territory, but somehow didn’t quite get there. I suspect that many others would read this book and think more highly of it and I wish I could too, but it just didn’t happen.
