Joseph Holt was one of the key figures in the Irish rebellion of 1798, serving as a general in the rebel army. After the rebellion was suppressed, he went into hiding and became a fugitive from the law. This book is his memoir, written many years later with the help of T.C. Croker. It offers a fascinating insight into the politics and society of Ireland during a tumultuous period of history.
