General Thomas Francis Meagher Sculpture Dedication


Recommended Posts

I recently created a bronze bust of General Thomas Francis Meagher for Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY. The dedication was held on July 1, 2017, 150 years after Meagher's death on the Missouri River.

 

Here is a wonderful blog by Green-Wood historian Jeff Richman describing how it all came to be.

Meagher now has a final resting place is next to his wife Elizabeth Townsend Meagher.

Fantastic tribute to a great Irishman and American. I recently read "The Immortal Irishman: The Irish Revolutionary Who Became an American Hero" about him - highly recommended.
