The immortal Irishman : the Irish revolutionary who became an American hero / Timothy Egan ; performed by Gerard Doyle.

Egan, Timothy, (author.). Doyle, Gerard, (narrator.).

Summary:

The Irish-American story, with all its twists and triumphs, is told through the improbable life of one man. A dashing young orator during the Great Famine of the 1840s, in which a million of his Irish countrymen died, Thomas Francis Meagher led a failed uprising against British rule, for which he was banished to a Tasmanian prison colony. He escaped and six months later was heralded in the streets of New York, the revolutionary hero, back from the dead, at the dawn of the great Irish immigration to America.
