Dan Donnelly 1788-1820: Pugilist, Publican, Playboy

This book tells the remarkable story of an Irishman whose exploits in the bare-knuckle ring made him into an early 19th century folk hero. His victories over highly regarded English opponents came in the wake of several armed rebellions and were seen as symbolizing his country's fight for freedom from Westminster rule. ""A fascinating and entertaining biography of this unique unsung hero of history.""-The Midwest Book Review ""Myler's book isn't just a history, it's also a social document that brings to life the political climate of the time and Donnelly's Place in it.""-Irish Voice
