  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard In 1798, French General Humbert’s army, 1019 men strong, sailed from Rochefort in three frigates to fight the British in Ireland. He fought them again in Chalmette in 1815. On January 8, 2015, he was honored in a special ceremony at St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. Here is his remarkable story. He Fought Pakenham Twice Jean Joseph Amable Humbert (August 22, 1755 – January 3, 1823) was a capable French general who participated in the French Revolution and early Napoleonic wars. He led what was ultimately a failed invasion of Ireland to assist Irish rebels in the “Rising of ‘98″ - sometimes referred to as Bliain na bhFrancach, or in English as “The Year of the French”. Humbert later ended up in New Orleans, where he made history in a most unusual way. Le Général Humbert Born in Saint-Nabord, Vosges, France, Humbert was a sergeant in the National Guard of Lyon when the French Revolution broke out in 1789. He rapidly advanced through the ranks to become brigadier general on April 9, 1794, and saw battle in the Western campaigns before being allocated to the Army of the Rhine. In 1798, the year Napoleon commanded the French army in Egypt in the Battle of the Pyramids, Humbert was entrusted with a most important assignment. He was to aid the Irish rebels in their attempts to overthrow British rule in Ireland. The Irish Rebellion of 1798 (In Irish: Éirí Amach na nÉireannach Aontaithe) had already begun when General Humbert (in command of three frigates, the Concorde, Franchise, and the Médée) landed August 22, 1798, at Kilcummin, County Mayo, Ireland, with a French force of 1,019 men, two or three women, three cannon and approximately 3000 muskets.

  • 1 Commission on the Defence Forces Public Consultation Response
    Commission on the Defence Forces Public Consultation Response Template 1. Introduction. “At the end of the Civil War in 1922 the army had a strength of 55,000 men…(After steady reductions, in 1925) the government set a limit of 10,000 men… all the government was prepared to fund was a small, docile infantry army, just sufficient in size to cowe the republican movement.”1 I suggest that the only change since then is that the Defence Forces are also required to maintain an overseas presence so as to support our diplomatic posture, e.g. our current membership of the UN Security Council. The reductions in the 1920s and 1930s took place through “the growing supremacy of the civilian side of defence over the military…The civilian hegemony (of the Department of Defence) was achieved primarily through financial controls, assisted by continuity: in the first thirty-five years of the state’s existence there were a dozen Chiefs of Staff, but just two secretaries of defence.”2 This dominance has bedevilled the Defence Forces ever since. In 1990 the Gleeson Commission reported that “the centralised bureaucracy and the slow processing of decisions through extended chains of command create a sense of powerlessness and disillusion among military personnel, resulting in lower morale and widespread feelings of frustration.”3 1.1. To attempt a review of the Defence Forces without considering the governance provided by the Department of Defence, therefore, appears to me to be a fruitless exercise and is like participating in a performance of Hamlet without the prince. Nevertheless, despite the restricted Terms of Reference of this Commission, the choice of deciding whether to make a submission is to either not do so, or to attempt to make the best of a bad situation; and given that that is the spirit in which so many tasks are undertaken in the Defence Forces, I have put forward the following suggestions.

FRAGMENTED HISTORIES: 1798 AND THE IRISH NATIONAL TALE by Colleen Booker Halverson A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee December 2012 ABSTRACT FRAGMENTED HISTORIES: 1798 AND THE IRISH NATIONAL TALE by Colleen Booker Halverson The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2012 Under the Supervision of Dr. José Lanters The 1798 rebellion radically transformed the social and political landscape of Ireland, but it would also have a dramatic impact on Anglo-Irish authors writing in its grim aftermath. Numerous critics have characterized the early Irish novel as “unstable” and suggest that the interruptions, the inverted, overlapping narratives, and the heteroglossia that pervade these novels are a by-product of these authors’ tumultuous times. These Anglo-Irish novels may appear as “unstable” texts, but their “instability,” I would argue, is a strategic maneuver, a critique of the idea of “stability” itself as it is presented through the “civilizing,” modernizing mission of imperialism.

  • 'A Long March: Paul Bew and Ireland's Nations'
    A Long March Brendan O’Leary: Paul Bew and Ireland’s Nations Ireland: The Politics of Enmity 1789-2006, by Paul Bew, Oxford University Press, 652 pp, £35, ISBN: 978- 0198205555 Paul Bew is an extremely intelligent, widely read, urbane, productive, original and extensively published historian with a sustained record of public engagement in politics. As an historian he professionally reads his way through multiple, and not just official, archives. He critically considers primary source materials and engages in sensible evaluation and criticism, for example in interpreting the by-elections in Ireland that preceded the Easter 1916 Rising. He corrects himself when he has been wrong. He treats history as a problem- solving discipline. He asks open questions of past events, explores primary and secondary literatures in the light of these questions and returns with a relevant explanation that enables the reader to see what drove his conclusions and to evaluate whether they are robust. On occasions he is not so open-minded, notably in his appraisals of Éamon de Valera and of the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985. Bew cares deeply about factual accuracy, though in his preface to Ireland: The Politics of Enmity 1789- 2006 (hereafterThe Politics of Enmity) he carefully does not claim impartiality, partly because he assumes such a claim would be treated as suspect in an historian of Ireland. There are some very minor mistakes in his book, but to err is human.(1) He is not impartial, but he is no blatant partisan. Partiality shows in methodological selection biases rather than in any deliberate distortions, in certain forms of empathy and estrangement, and in accepting some authors’ agendas rather than others’.

Humbert later ended up in New Orleans, where he made history in a most unusual way. Born in Saint-Nabord, Vosges, France, Humbert was a sergeant in the National Guard of Lyon when the French Revolution broke out in 1789. He rapidly advanced through the ranks to become brigadier general on April 9, 1794, and saw battle in the Western campaigns before being allocated to the Army of the Rhine. In 1798, the year Napoleon commanded the French army in Egypt in the Battle of the Pyramids, Humbert was entrusted with a most important assignment. He was to aid the Irish rebels in their attempts to overthrow British rule in Ireland. The Irish Rebellion of 1798 (In Irish: Éirí Amach na nÉireannach Aontaithe) had already begun when General Humbert (in command of three frigates, the Concorde, Franchise, and the Médée) landed August 22, 1798, at Kilcummin, County Mayo, Ireland, with a French force of 1,019 men, two or three women, three cannon and approximately 3000 muskets. Upon Humbert’s coming ashore, a local musician took out a penny whistle and produced a spirited jig.
