The Immortal Irishman: The Irish Revolutionary Who Became an American Hero

"An old-fashioned tale of tall talk, high ideals,and irresistible appeal . . . You will not read a historical thriller like this all year . . . [Egan] is aÂ master storyteller."Â â€”Boston Globe

â€œEgan has a gift for sweeping narrative . . . and he has a journalistâ€™s eye for the telltale detail . . . This is masterly work.â€ â€” New York Times Book Review
Â
In this exciting and illuminating work, National Book Award winner Timothy Egan delivers a story, both rollicking and haunting, of one of the most famous Irish Americans of all time. A dashing young orator during the Great Hunger of the 1840s, Thomas Francis Meagher led a failed uprising against British rule, for which he was banished to a Tasmanian prison colony for life. But two years later he was â€œback from the deadâ€ and in New York, instantly the most famous Irishman in America. Meagherâ€™s rebirth included his leading the newly formed Irish Brigade in many of the fiercest battles of the Civil War. Afterward, he tried to build a new Ireland in the wild west of Montanaâ€”a quixotic adventure that ended in the Â great mystery of his disappearance, which Egan resolves convincingly at last.
Â
â€œThis is marvelous stuff. Thomas F. Meagher strides onto Egan's beautifully wrought pages just as he livedâ€”powerfully larger than life. A fascinating account of an extraordinary life.â€ â€” Daniel James Brown, author of The Boys in the Boat
Â
â€œThomas Meagherâ€™s is an irresistible story, irresistibly retold by the virtuosic Timothy Egan . . . A gripping, novelistic page-turner.â€ â€” Wall Street Journal
