Biographical History

John Boyle O'Reilly was born in County Meath, Ireland, and apprenticed with a newspaper at the age of eleven. He joined the English army to persuade Irish soldiers to join the Fenian movement, and was so successful he was found guilty of treason and sentenced to death. The sentence was commuted, and he was exiled to Australia, but escaped to America and after numerous adventures settled in Boston. He lectured, wrote poetry, and joined the Boston Pilot, which he later co-owned, turning it into America's leading Irish newspaper. O'Reilly remained a prominent Fenian, and an idealist who also supported African American rights. He published four volumes of verse, two novels, and a non-fiction book promoting sport. He received honorary degrees from Notre Dame, Dartmouth, and Georgetown.
