What's Sherlock Holmes doing in New York's most Fenian pub?That's the intrigue at the heart of Terror From America: A Sherlock HolmesAdventure, the debut novel from journalist and historian Terry Golway, and thequestion Irish Stew podcast cohosts Martin Nutty and John Lee set out to answerbefore a packed, raucous house at Ernie O'Malley's on the first of June.A Staten Island native with a Ph.D. in U.S. history from Rutgers and two decadesof political reporting at the New York Observer, Golway has written more than adozen acclaimed works of nonfiction. But fiction, he tells us, unlocks somethingfacts alone cannot: "You can learn as much about history through a novel as youcan in a history book."His novel imagines Britain dispatching the world's greatest detective to infiltratethe Irish American revolutionary underground of 1885 New York, a missionrooted in a real and largely forgotten chapter of history. "The original crime isbased on something that actually happened," Golway explains. "Several IrishAmericans were going to try to blow up London Bridge…instead they blewthemselves up."Holmes's investigation pulls him into the orbit of real historical figures, nonemore compelling than John Devoy. In a dramatic reading brought brilliantly tolife by actor Mick Mellamphy, Devoy records in his diary what Charles Parnellhad told him when they met: "The American people are now the arbiters of theIrish question,” to which Devoy replied, "I almost had tears in my eyes when Iheard those words. That was exactly what we in New York wished to be, thearbiters of the Irish question."And what does Holmes make of the Fenians he encounters? After infiltrating NewYork's Irish revolutionary underground as an itinerant fiddler at Clan na Gaelgatherings, Sherlock observed, "The Fenians who inhabit the back rooms of NewYork's clubhouses and taverns bear little resemblance to the crude caricaturesportrayed in some less reputable newspapers. Formidable not because of theircapacity for mayhem, but because of the power they yield over the production ofmemories."Fiddler Eileen McLain provided the evening's musical accents while MickMellamphy served as producer. Past Irish Stew guests Peter Quinn, Larry Kirwan,and Maura Clare were in the house as were Black 47 co-founder Chris Byrne andIrish American Writers & Artists president Liza Engesser.LINKSTERRY GOLWAYWebsiteSubstack: ObserverLinkedInBook: Terror From AmericaAmazon: Terror From AmericaERNIE O'MALLEY'SWebsiteIRISH STEW LINKSWebsite Home PageFacebookInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 19; Total Episode Count: 160Send us Fan Mail

On the 18th and 19th of April, the National Museum of Ireland will host a limited time exhibition at Collins Barracks to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Catalpa rescue mission.The mission involved the rescue of six Irish Fenians from a British penal colony in western Australia in April 1876 by a US whaling ship. After their rescue, the Fenians, who had been transported to Australia on the last convict ship, were brought safely to New York, much to the annoyance of the British who tried to intercept them as they sailed away.To discuss this and the exhibition, Seán is joined by Brenda Malone, Curator of Military History at the National Museum of Ireland.Image: National Museum of Ireland

Margo O’Byrne Fenians Festival 2026 The 150th anniversary of the Catalpa escape - Australia’s most daring maritime prison break - is at the heart of the ‘Fenians Festival 2026’, from March 23 to 31. In 1876 the highly-planned escape and rescue resulted in six Irish political prisoners (Fenians) escaping from a convict work detail in Fremantle and making their way to a rendezvous with the Catalpa, an American whaling ship, near Rockingham. The Catalpa had sailed from America on a secret mission to rescue the men; so secret Captain George Anthony couldn’t even let his crew know the ship’s true goal. ‘Fenians Festival 2026’ offers a week of events including Irish music and poetry; international guests; a performance by Theatre 180; history talks, panel discussions and a Family Day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Goldene Zeiten am Tresen, Bälle werden über Eisflächen gejagt und Tränen dürfen nicht fehlen. Im hohen Tal der Celtic Tränen werden die Stimmen gegen das exekutive Board immer lauter und das Viertelfinale im schottischen Pokal verspricht den Glanz alter Tage, da mehr als 5 Fenians sich ins Ibrox verirren werden. Frankreich macht auf Bayern München bei den 6 Nationen und die Eintracht war bei Bayern München, gefolgt vom Shizo Derby im Norden der Republik. Bad Bunny kommt auch vor.

rWotD Episode 3066: Marble Island (New Brunswick) Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Thursday, 25 September 2025, is Marble Island (New Brunswick).Marble Island (also called Marvel Island, Rouen Islet or Rowan Islet) is an undeveloped island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay.It may have been occupied 3000 years ago. Archaeological excavation was done on the island by Stephen A. Davis and Albert Ferguson in the 1970s-80s. Four double-grooved stone axes of indeterminate age, possibly from the terminal archaic period, were recovered by Davis from Marble Island in 1982. BfDr8 is on the island.As David Owen had rejected efforts to build a customs house on Campobello Island, objecting to its aesthetic value in sketches and coincidentally reducing his trouble shipping across the international border, the government was forced to build one on Marble Island which proved less than effective.Three trading posts, belonging to James Simonds, William Hazen and White, are believed to have been built on Marble Island. In 1849, Marble Island merchant George N. Kay was wounded in the right lung, one of 120 people injured and dozens killed in New York's Astor Place Riot revolving around whether a British or American actor better cast in Shakespeare's roles.On May 16, 1866 nine armed Fenians landed on Marble Island and took possession of Norwood's house until New Brunswick militia members dislodged them the following morning.The island has been identified as one of those written about in the 1604 writings of Samuel Champlain and Sieur de Monts.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Thursday, 25 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Marble Island (New Brunswick) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ivy.

In 1876, one of the most daring prison escapes in history set sail from Fremantle, Western Australia. The American whaling ship Catalpa was at the heart of the plot, masterminded by Irish Fenians determined to free their comrades from the brutal Fremantle Prison. With clever disguises, coded messages, and a nail-biting chase at sea, the Catalpa's voyage became a legendary tale of rebellion, ingenuity, and defiance against the British Empire.In this episode, we dive into the planning, the escape itself, and how this incredible story still resonates in both Australian and Irish history today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

The Last Call at Fenians: We raise a virtual glass to Fenians Irish Pub, a Jackson landmark calling it quits after 28 years. What drove them to the brink? Was it just the usual suspects like crime, or something more?

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of Fenian's Pub after nearly 28 years of serving this incredible community. Since opening our doors, we have been honored to be a place where friends gathered, memories were made, and the spirit of Jackson was celebrated. We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us over the years. Your loyalty, laughter, and friendship have meant the world to us. Though this chapter is coming to an end, the memories we've shared will last a lifetime. Thank you for being a part of the Fenian's Pub family.

To the Dublin press, the American Civil War veterans in Dublin cut an unusual shape. These ‘Yankee' characters looked different, but they also behaved differently. Under the direction of Captain Thomas J. Kelly, these men would be centrally important to the Fenian uprising of 1867. While history remembers this as a skirmish on a hill in Tallaght, much more happened in March 1867 than that.

The end of the Civil War in the United States creates a military threat to British North America, though not the one many Canadians feared.  

The Phoenix Park assassinations of May 1882 shook British politics. All had heard of the Fenians, but who were the Invincibles? Today, a cross in the grass on Chesterfield Avenue marks the location where these events played out - but who put it there?

Today I talked to Marian O'Shea Wernicke about her new novel Out of Ireland (She Writes Press, 2023). Most people have heard of the Irish famine in 1848 and of the resistance movement against British sovereignty that consumed much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In this fictional attempt to understand her great-grandmother's life, Marian O'Shea Wernicke examines the years between the famine and the Easter Rebellion of 1916. In the process, she creates a compelling tale of a young Irish girl, Mary Eileen O'Donovan, whose impoverished family forces her to marry a neighboring farmer in his forties when Eileen, as she's known, has barely passed her sixteenth birthday. The match improves her family's material situation, but it is not what Eileen wants from life. A bookish girl, she has ambitions of studying to become a teacher, but pressure from her family puts paid to those plans. She grudgingly agrees to wed John Sullivan and does her best to make him a good wife. When she becomes pregnant, the couple's newborn son unites them for a while, but John's morose nature and frequent drunkenness make him a difficult man to love, especially for an idealistic girl. When the crops fail and Eileen's younger brother falls foul of the Fenians, she and John decide their only choice is to emigrate. But leaving Ireland turns out to carry a high price as well …  Marian O'Shea Wernicke, a former professor of English, is the author of A 20th-Century Man, a memoir of her father; the anthology Confessions: Fact or Fiction? (with Herta Feely); and Toward That Which Is Beautiful. Out of Ireland is her second novel. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and three other novels. Her latest book, Song of the Storyteller, appeared in January 2023.

This week we kick off our bonus interview episodes by welcoming University of Toronto professor David Wilson to talk about everyone's favourite Irish revolutionaries (who also happened to profoundly shape Canadian history) the Fenians.  Wilson's new book Canadian Spy Story: Irish Revolutionaries and the Secret Police is a dual history of the Fenians and also very much about the rise of Canada's first secret police to infiltrate Fenian networks in the 1860s. It's a magnificent feat of academic research and Hollywood-esque story-telling.  If you like what you're hearing and want to support the podcast, please head on over to our Patreon page where, for only $5/month, you can become a real-life patron of the arts - and keep 1867 & All That online in perpetuity.

The Fenians are back at it this week - threatening to raid New Brunswick and then (for real) attacking along the Niagara frontier. Arthur Gordon of New Brunswick steps up and makes things happen, obliterating the niceties of responsible government along the way.

The radical Irish republicans are coming and they're going to scare British North Americans into a confederation. This week we learn all about Irish secret societies and their plans to invade Canada. We also catch up with the crumbling government of New Brunswick that, even though it was only recently elected, is determined to fall apart and hand the colony back into the hands of those who supported Confederation.  If you like what you're hearing and want to support the podcast, please head on over to our Patreon page where, for only $5/month, you can become a real-life patron of the arts - and keep 1867 & All That online in perpetuity.

Dans ce projet, les élèves cherchent à comprendre les héritages complexes découlant des points de vue des Pères de la Confédération en créant un dialogue scénarisé entre deux personnalités de l'époque. En commençant par une discussion sur le retrait des statues de John A. Macdonald, les élèves explorent la domination de l'Ordre d'Orange dans la politique canadienne du 19e siècle et interrogent les points communs dans le traitement des migrants irlandais et des Métis. Cela aide les élèves à expliquer ce qui a incité les Fenians irlandais et les Métis à frapper violemment contre l'ordre politique dominant de l'ère de la Confédération.

Patrice Dutil meets David A. Wilson to talk about his book Canadian Spy Story: Irish Revolutionaries and the Secret Police, published by McGill-Queens University Press. In an effort to disable the Irish revolutionaries from attacking Canada and stirring Irish sympathies in Canada, Sir John A. Macdonald established a sophisticated spy ring to infiltrate Fenian ranks. They examine the ideas that animated the Fenians, their success and their failures. They also reflect on the socio-political situation and on the actions taken by the Government of Canada's, taking particular note of individuals like Gilbert McMicken, Frederick Ermatinger, Charles Clarke and the grand spy Henri Le Caron.
