A brilliant writer, outstanding orator, and charismatic politician, Thomas D'Arcy McGee is best known for his prominent role in Irish-Canadian politics, his inspirational speeches in support of Canadian Confederation, and his assassination by an Irish revolutionary who accused him of betraying his earlier Irish nationalist principles. Thomas D'Arcy McGee, the first volume in a two-part biography, explores the development of those principles in Ireland and the United States. David Wilson follows McGee from Wexford, Ireland across the Atlantic to Boston, where at nineteen he became the editor of America's leading Irish newspaper, and traces his subsequent involvement with the Young Ireland movement, his reactions to the Famine, and his role in the Rising of 1848. Wilson goes on to examine McGee's experiences as a political refugee in the United States, where his increasing disillusionment with revolutionary Irish nationalism and his opposition to American nativism propelled him towards conservative Catholicism and sent him on a trajectory that ultimately led to Canada - his experiences are the subject of volume 2, Thomas D'Arcy McGee: The Extreme Moderate, 1857-1868.

After a tumultuous career as a revolutionary in Ireland and an ultra-conservative Catholic in the United States, Thomas D'Arcy McGee moved to Canada in 1857, where he became a force for moderation and the leading Irish Canadian politician in the country. Determined that Canada should avoid the ethno-religious strife that afflicted Ireland, he articulated an inclusive, broad-minded nationalism based on generosity of spirit, a willingness to compromise, and a reasonable balance between order and liberty. To realize his vision, McGee became a strong supporter of the "new northern nationality." A spellbinding orator who emerged as the youngest and most intellectually gifted of the Fathers of Confederation, he fought what he saw as the atavistic and intolerant elements of Canadian life - the Orange Order, with its strident anti-Catholicism; the opponents of separate schools, whom he viewed as enemies of minority rights; and above all the Fenian Brotherhood, with its dreams of revolutionizing Ireland and annexing Canada to the United States. Convinced that compromise with Fenianism was impossible, he set out to destroy the movement through a strategy of confrontation and polarization - channeling his earlier extreme tendencies in the service of moderation and attempting to reduce the influence of Fenianism within his own community. In the process, he alienated many of his former supporters, who came to regard him as a traitor who sacrificed the cause of Irish nationalism on the altar of personal ambition. On 7 April 1868, McGee was assassinated on the doorstep of his Ottawa boarding house. As someone who took an uncompromising stand against militants within his own ethno-religious community, and who attempted to balance core values with minority rights, McGee has become increasingly relevant in today's complex multicultural society.

At the tender age of 14, Thomas Duncan (1846-1931) was swept up in the fierce winds of civil war as the United States was ripped apart by sectional strife. He had no idea what lay ahead of him as he rushed to defend his home soil of Mississippi. Indeed, his service in the Confederate Army would carry him into some of the most important battles of the American Civil War. Serving under the military genius Nathan Bedford Forrest, Duncan would find himself far from home and under fire at such places as Forts Henry and Donelson, Shiloh, Corinth, Rienzi, Murfreesboro, Perryville, campaigns through West and Middle Tennessee, Chickamauga, Fort Pillow, Brice's Crossroads, Harrisburg, Tupelo, and Sulphur Trestle, Alabama. The young scout and soldier witnessed dramatic events like the pursuit of the Streight Raiders and the historic raids into Memphis, North Alabama, and Middle Tennessee. Duncan survived many harrowing experiences during the war. He lived another seventy years after his enlistment in the Confederate Army. At the age of seventy-six, he penned these Recollections, first published in 1922. Duncan relates his experiences in a genuinely reflective way. There is no bitterness or rancor in his written voice as he tells an informative and interesting account of a young Mississippi boy far from home, defending his native region. His story is his own, recounted with a vividness and reflection that is only possible with the passage of years. With the publication of this edition of Recollections of Thomas D. Duncan, it is the hope of the publishers that it will reach a wider audience who can carry his words with them long after they've visited the battlefields and locations he writes about.
