He WAS NOT an Invincible! Glad you can see that…. Not only that but he was horrified any so called patriot would describe him as such. Some still do…. Oh and he died in 1905, not 1883! Yes the Brits looked after their agents!!! Not widely kwn but he did not hang. ;-) but keep it to yourself.

My friend’s ancestor is O’Donnell and his relation was Patrick O’Donnell… Patrick actually wrote about the murders in his diaries while on death row in the UK for killing James Carey of the Phoenix park murders…. The letters were lost but later published in a book ‘The Execution, Life and Times of Patrick O’Donnell. An incredible read that every Irish American should read. From the famine to the Civil war and more. Two chapters on Wiggans Patch..
