This very vivid memoir describes the prison experiences of a Cork
Fenian activist, John Sarsfield Casey. 'The Galtee Boy' was a name
used by Casey when he sent letters for publication to newspapers,
one of which was used against him at his trial in 1865. His memoir
was written after he had returned from deportation and describes
the period from his arrest in 1865, his trial in Cork and
conditions in Mountjoy, Millbank, Pentonville and Portland prisons.
His memoir is the most extensive surviving account from the Fenian
side of the experiences of those prisoners detained in Cork.
Biographies of people mentioned in the memoir are given in an
appendix.
