The Felon's Track; Or, History of the Attempted Outbreak in Ireland / Embracing the Leading Events in the Irish Struggle From the Year 1843 to the Close of 1848

A first-person account by a former peasant who became a barrister and active member of the Young Ireland leadership, recounting the political agitation and the attempted uprising between 1843 and 1848. The narrative blends memoir and polemic, describing the author's recruitment to the movement, public oratory, internal debates, and the operational failures that led to collapse. It situates the rebellion amid the potato-crop failure and critiques government relief and policy responses. The volume also includes contemporary documents and an allied narrative, and ends with reflections on leadership, popular support, and lessons drawn from the failed enterprise.
