The Irish, Scots and Scots Irish Rebels Of 1776

By Jim McDonough

for Independence brilliantly.

A multitude of Celtic American Patriots stood for the dream of American Independence and against the Crown. Here are just three that have made the journey from obscurity to immortality!

In November of 1775, the newly appointed COL Knox had the idea to bring captured British artillery pieces from Fort Ticonderoga, New York, to Boston. Led by Knox, the expedition, consisting of hundreds of men and 100 teams of horses and oxen, hauled fifty-six cannon and mortars all the way to Cambridge, Massachusetts, by mid-January 1776. The newly acquired guns were then moved into position atop Dorchester Heights near Boston, forcing the British garrison to evacuate Boston by mid-March. He distinguished himself again at the Battle of Trenton.

Henry Knox is one of the most fascinating heroes in American History in many respects.

Knox is the ultimate embodiment of the grit, Yankee ingenuity, self motivation and leadership that laid the foundation of the American CAN DO spirit.

Knox was born in Boston in 1750 to an Irish Scottish family. His father, a ship-builder died when Knox was only 14 and to help his mother and his 9 siblings survive he apprenticed himself to a Boston Bookseller.

In 1796, Knox and his wife retired to Montpelier; he stayed active, created many jobs, helped fund the construction of a church, and established a local militia. Major General Henry Knox died there on October 25, 1806.

"I have not yet begun to fight!" is one of the best known quotes of the American Revolution. It was uttered as a grand gesture of defiance during one of the best known naval battles in American History by Scottish born John Paul Jones. John Paul was one of the most forceful, inspiring and venerated figures in American History. I have always had a deep fascination for him because we share a birthday, he was born on July 6, 1747. .

At the age of 13, John Paul went to sea for the In1783 Knox took command of West Point and first time on a British merchant ship, Early on in his career, he proved himself able and while there helped found the Society of the reliable and he was given command of a Cincinnati. in May In December 1783 he succession of shi ps.

when the capture of the Margaretta took place on June 12, 1775. Under the command of Jeremiah O?Brien, his brothers and the crew of his small sloop with the help of thirty-one townsmen armed with guns, swords, axes, and pitch forks captured the much larger and better armed British ship after an hour-long battle.

The battle ensued at the entrance to the harbor at Machias (a town then in Massachusetts, now in Maine) because the Margaretta had threatened to bombard the town.

This engagement is often considered to have been the the first naval battle of the American Revolutionary War. It was the first time British colors were struck to those of the United States, even though the Continental Navy did not exist at the time. The United States Merchant Marine claims Unity as its member and this incident as their beginning.

In any case, O'Brien continued as the captain of Unity, renamed Machias Liberty, for two years.

He then received the first captain's commission in the Massachusetts State Navy in 1775. The other salient fact about this battle is that it took place Five days before the Battle of Bunker Hill!

So over the years, the Irish Arts and Entertainment has written a lot of different tours and travel experiences throughout our favorite travel destination!

Couple that realization with the idea of cycling through Ireland and you have a very exciting, satisfying adventure for your trip to the Emerald Isle.

Get it beforeeos it gets Leave perfection to immortals but immortal names to those who would fight for something better...Always a sadness in leaving like old wounds pulsing in the cold...And in returning from afar sometimes it's like seeing a loved one healing on a hospital bed or in great health.. One never fails to feel something at the eyes that is drawn not from the blinding and rare sun but in a heart that feels broken and restored in turns before the sight and presence of beauty that would break you before you ever allow it to be broken. From wakes to horizons...I always see you again.

I turn away from the light of the horizon over the Celtic sea, seeing the doppelgänger of a plane bearing others away, like a moth drawn to the deceptive allure of fatal light..

I linger alone with the rain...haunted by memories like phantom pain. yet I know I?ve lived yet to see this shore again..

Paddy wake up...you?re dreaming lad.

You?re not at the crushing brink overlooking the sea...

Before it gets cold...

I stand the rain...

Listening to the song...

Before I walk with eyes closed...for I know the way back as I do the words by heart.

Gr ego r y B r en d an Pat r i ck Southern California is home to many artists, musicians and writers of all persuasions and pursuits; one of them, poet and writer, Greg Patrick stands out from the pack.

Born in the west of Ireland, Patrick now reside part time in Orange County.

His heritage is as intriguing as the prose he has crafted. His life experience working as a horse trainer enables him to see life through a lens of appreciation and love of all creatures and nature. It is but one of the traits that have helped him become this adventuresome, determined, humble and quiet looming Irish literary figure.

Our first meeting with him was at an Irish Fair a few years ago; it was then that we learned of his great love of Irish Music and Culture. Since then over the years of conversation; his deep connection and love for Derry, his steady output of work, his adventures (shark swimming for example) and travels have all come to light as he became a frequent and popular contributor to the I rish Arts and Entertainment.

The Celtic Camer a We are looking out for you! Send us your I r ish or Celtic Event or People photos and a caption.

Jer p o i n t A b b ey The Ruins of Ireland are an intriguing part of the landscape in almost every part of the island. The reasons for the majority of them including one of the most famous, Jerpoint Abbey, located in County Kilkenny is the same. The destruction of most of the abbeys, monasteries and schools in Ireland was ordered by England's King Henry VIII during the years following his split with the Roman Catholic Church in the early 1500s. It was a move on the church caused primarily be greed, the books, gold and lands controlled by them was coveted by Henry and he was brutal in changing the status quo of his time.
