Fantastic stuff, in my town of Waterford a statue to Meagher stands in the centre of the city. This Lady did her work and I applaud her for it!

Thomas Francis Meagher spent his last two nights of freedom on Irish soil in our family home in Carrigeen, County Tipperary. This has also been verified as the priest (Fr. Carroll), who sheltered him kept a diary at the time.

He is my great great great great uncle :) my last name is Meagher, everyone always gets the pronunciation confused lol

[@surveyore7]

Quite the biography! Seems from early in his life he had determined to 'fight' prejudice and 600yrs of British enslavement of his race. We know now what motivated him, and this he passed on to those who would lay down their lives. Seems he took the same philosophy out to Montana. In the end it appears that he died for what he believed in. Ironically 'Sanders' would 'use' his example to benefit himself in his own way. Excellent presentation!

Reading The Immortal Irishman about Meagher. Great book

[@tommeagher8058]

It still makes me wonder if I have distant relationship, some of my ,and my son resemble his photos.

[@bradleycred99]

Great lecture!

[@BlueSideUp77]

Background of his life is important, to understand why he's fighting. If you are only interested in his War events, it begins at @34:55

Nope, I've heard the Fighting Irish themselves use the pronunciation of Marr and not Mah-her.

[@thomasmeagher8941]

Pronounced*

[@hgt2008]

Can they have a man say all of the things she is saying, so I can take it seriously?
