| Notes | An account (based on his little-known autobiography) of the career of Thomas O'Malley Baines, whose family were evicted from the Westport estate in Co. Mayo during the Famine. After fighting in the Papal army he became a Fenian organiser, was transported to Western Australia with other Fenian convicts and from there went to California where he remained active in Irish nationalist politics while participating in Dennis Kearney's populist campaign against Chinese immigration. His autobiography criticises Leo XIII's condemnation of the Irish Plan of Campaign land agitation as misinformed, claiming that British political intrigues had been responsible for the overthrow of the Papal states and that Britain was now infiltrating agents into the USA with subversive intent. |
