Thanks for expanding our discussion about the Fenians. I know embarrassing little about them. As a child, we'd play hide-and-seek in the cemetery. One popular hiding spot was behind a giant monument to those who fell in battle during the Fenian raids. I once asked my father who these people were and he told me they were some Irish people who went to Washington and burned the place to the ground. I didn't inquire further: I didn't want to appear too interested, in case they decided to visit us.

Cheers, PW.
