An Irish Patriot, published in 1898, is a historical novel written by Walter Fortescue. The story is set in Ireland during the 1798 rebellion, a time of great political and social upheaval. The novel follows the life of Hugh O'Neill, a young Irishman who becomes involved in the fight for Irish independence. Hugh is a member of a wealthy, Protestant family, but he is sympathetic to the plight of the Catholic peasants who are oppressed by the British government. He becomes friends with a group of rebels who are planning an uprising against the British, and he joins their cause. As the rebellion gains momentum, Hugh finds himself torn between his loyalty to his family and his commitment to the cause of Irish freedom. He must navigate dangerous political waters and contend with betrayal and treachery from both sides. The novel is a vivid portrayal of the struggle for Irish independence and the complex political and social factors that shaped it. It is also a deeply personal story of one man's journey from privilege to rebellion, and the sacrifices he makes for his beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
