Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXIX Lord Henry's grief--Wishes to remain with Jxrd Iidward in prison--Refused admittance--Strangers allowed to visit him--Incident--Lord Edward's will--Royal sympathy--Letter to Lord Henry Fitzgerald from the Duke of Richmond--Pleas for delaying a trial--Letter from Fox--Lord Henry's notes--Lord Chancellor':, heartless refusal--Kind note from a fellow-prisoner. The mutual affection by which the whole Leinster family were so remarkably bound together was even more warm between Lord Edward and Lord Henry than between any of its other members. 'Dear Harry --he is perfect' was the enthusiastic feeling which Lord Edward no less sincerely entertained than he thus strongly expressed, and which was answered with a corresponding warmth on the part of his brother. When millions, therefore, were mourning the fate of the gallant Edward, what must have been the sorrow of one so near, and so devoted to him? Soon after the dreadful news reached him, Lord Henry hurried over to Dublin, resolved to share the sufferer's prison and be his attendant and nurse. But, by a sternness of policy which it seems impossible to justify, even the privilege of a single interview with his brother was denied to him; and he was left, day after day, in a state of anguish only to be conceived by those who knew the strength of his affections, to implore this favour of the Lord Lieutenant and his advisers in vain. The following is one of the answers which he received to his applications: --FROM THE EARL OF CLARE TO LORD HENRV FITZGERALD Ely Place, Sunday, 3 octet. My Dear Lord, --I am sorry to tell you that it will be impossible, for the present, to comply with your wishes; and if I could explain to you the grounds of this restriction, even you would hardly be induced

“...a fascinating and well-told story of the American Revolution in South Carolina—and of its ramifications across racial and national boundaries.” —Walter Edgar, author of South Carolina: A History "The author brings to life the challenges and opportunities that the American Revolution brought to African Americans in the South in this engaging account of a free black man's wartime experience and postwar friendship with a British officer he rescued from the battlefield." —Jim Piecuch, author of Three Peoples, One King: Loyalists, Indians, and Slaves in the Revolutionary South Until publication of this book, virtually nothing was known about Tony Small, the African American from South Carolina who helped further an existing revolutionary spirit of liberty in Ireland as much as Lafayette did in France. For the first time, Robert Black brings Small to life in a work of creative nonfiction that includes his influence upon Lord Edward Fitzgerald, the military commander in the United Irishmen’s revolution against British rule in Dublin between 1796–1798, whose life Small saved at the Battle of Eutaw Springs in 1781. Tony Small is a real person, the main character in the book. Everyone else when named in the book is also a real person, and most are black. The book records the names of over two hundred documented African Americans and creates a fictional narrative for many of them. Their voices and Small’s in Part I give fictional context to moral, social, and revolutionary realities during America’s first civil war. The appendices, notes, maps, and exhibits in Part II firmly anchor fictional detail to historically recorded facts. By bringing to light the story of remarkable figures in eighteenth-century American, Irish, Canadian, English, and French history, the book is unequaled as a record of mutual respect and devotion between two men that begins on the level battle ground at Eutaw Springs. It also creates an account of African Americans not as mere slaves or free black men and women who do manual labor, but as soldiers and patriots of the highest order to help establish the new republic.
