The Life of Cardinal Mezzofanti; With an Intr. Memoir of Eminent Linguists, Ancient and Modern

CHARLES WILLIAM

RUSSELL

In 1867, Fenianism in Ireland was at its peak. The English, desperate to stem the tide of rebellion, banished convicted Fenians, along with thousands of common criminals, to exile in Australia.The Hougoumont was the last official convict ship to Asutralia. In the autumn of 1867, she sailed from England. Among the Fenians on board was young Denis B. Cashman of Waterford, convicted of felony treason and sentenced to seven years' penal servitude.On the long journey, Cashman kept a diary. Now, one hundred and fifty years later, this diary is available in all its rich, poignant detail. We feel Cashman's homesickness and share his wry humor, watching as new friendships are strengthened by adversity, and as he conquers his fear of the unknown world ahead. Each experience is as vivid as on the day the diary was written.
