Dan Donnelly, 1788-1820 by Patrick Myler
This book tells the remarkable story of an Irishman whose exploits in the bare-knuckle ring made him into an early 19th century folk hero. His victories over highly regarded English opponents came in the wake of several armed rebellions and were seen as symbolizing his countrys fight for freedom from Westminster rule.
