"Without a shadow of doubt this is one of the finest Irish-American books ever written....What Egan has done is restore the reputation and uncovered a host of details on a man I would venture to say had no peer in our history of Irish America....Egan's take on Irish-American history gives this book a breadth and significance that would be very hard to match." -- Niall O'Dowd, Irish America "This is marvelous stuff. Thomas F. Meagher strides onto Egan's beautifully wrought pages just as he lived -- powerfully larger than life. A fascinating account of an extraordinary life." -- Daniel James Brown, author of The Boys in the Boat, Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Olympics "A fascinating, well-told story by an author fully committed to his subject.

Synopsis
In the New York Times bestseller The Immortal Irishman , Pulitzer Prize-winning author Timothy Egan illuminates the dawn of the great Irish American story, with all its twists and triumphs, through the life of one heroic man.A dashing young orator during the Great Hunger of the 1840s, Thomas Francis Meagher led a failed uprising against British rule, for which he was banished to a Tasmanian prison colony for life. But two years later he was "back from the dead" and in New York, instantly the most famous Irishman in America. Meagher's rebirth included his leading the newly formed Irish Brigade in many of the fiercest battles of the Civil War. Afterward, he tried to build a new Ireland in the wild west of Montana -- a quixotic adventure that ended in the great mystery of his disappearance, which Egan resolves convincingly at last.
