Brought to Liverpool from Ireland as a child, Denvir grew up among the Irish of the English cities and spent his life in their national cause. At seventy-six he recalls O’Connell in Liverpool, the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood, the rising of 1867 and the Manchester rescue, revolvers for Fenian plots, an Irish ambulance corps in the Franco-Prussian War, and the Home Rule movement under Biggar and Parnell.
