Episode 6 - I Love a Man in Uniform
Manage episode 346006139 series 3399927
Jane gets a bit carried away this week, but we can see why. James FitzGibbon was one of the best known Irishmen in pre-Famine Canada as a hero of the War of 1812, the defender of Toronto, and a one-man riot-squad brought in to stop sectarian violence. He was beloved, trusted, and a friend to all Irish immigrants and the colonial establishment. So, why has he now become one of the more forgotten characters from Canada’s past?
