Denis B. Cashman, an Irish immigrant, worked as a journalist in Boston and partner of a printing firm. John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890), also an Irish immigrant, settled in Boston in 1870, where he was an editor and published works of poetry and fiction. Prior to immigrating to the United States, both men participated in the Irish Republican Brotherhood (Fenians). After being arrested, they were transported in 1867 to a penal colony in Fremantle, Western Australia. O'Reilly escaped in 1869, and while it is unclear how Cashman left Australia, it is thought that they escaped together.
