"Michael Davitt: From the Gaelic American" tells the story of a
collaboration between two giants of late nineteenth-century Irish
nationalism: John Devoy and Michael Davitt, in the formulation of
the New Departure and the early emergence of the land agitation.
Devoy (1842-1928), a Fenian who assisted James Stephens in his
escape from Richmond prison, only later to be imprisoned himself
for administering the Fenian oath, was to spend most of his adult
life in exile in the United States. He was a leading figure in Clan
na Gael and a journalist for the "New York Herald" and later edited
the "Gaelic American", in which this account of Davitt was
serialised. Michael Davitt (1846-1906), once a major figure in the
Irish Republican Brotherhood went on to found the Irish National
Land League. Although both men shared similar hopes for the Irish
nation their methods and approaches were to diverge, and they fell
out in 1882. This memoir is particularly informative for the period
between 1878 and 1880, when the New Departure was initiated.
However, Devoy asserts that Davitt remained more loyal to the
Fenian ideals than most of his contemporaries recognised.
