  • Nicolay Collection Finding
    LINCOLN LIBRARY Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection at Allen County Public Library For additional material on Helen and John G. Nicolay, NICOLAY COLLECTION see the manuscript collection Lincoln’s Secretaries— 6 boxes; 3.8 cubic feet Hay, Nicolay, Stoddard; 1 box, 0.5 cubic feet. For extensive correspondence between Helen Nicolay Biographical Notes and others regarding a copy of the Gettysburg Address, see Gettysburg Address Correspondence; 1 box, 0.25 cubic feet. Helen Nicolay (1866-1954) Helen Nicolay was born in 1866 to John G. Nicolay and Therena Bates Nicolay in Paris, where her father served as American Consul. In 1869, the Nicolay family returned to the United States. Helen’s academic training was overseen by her father as well as private tutors. Little is known about Helen Nicolay as a young woman, other than that she helped her father and John Hay write their 10-volume Lincoln biography by taking dictation. She began writing her own books after her father’s death in 1901 and had a summer retreat studio in New Hampshire she used for painting and writing. Her best known work is Lincoln’s Secretary: A Biography of John G. Nicolay. In all, she wrote more than 20 books, mostly history and biography, many of which were intended for children. She described her reason for writing in a letter to a young fan—she wrote books to make “history seem alive and interesting to young people.” Helen Nicolay was also a recognized artist. The Lincoln Museum Collection includes two oil paintings of John G. Nicolay painted by Helen Nicolay.

  • Martin Hogan and the Catalpa Rescue by Eamon Mcdermott
    n a January evening in Dublin in 1866, Martin Hogan of 6, Barrington Street, Limerick, stood at the door of Peter Cur- ran's Pub, at l Clare Lane, near Merrion Square, Dublin. He checked that he was not observed and entered. With James Wilson, he had deserted from the Fifth Dragoon Guards in November, 1865, when it became too difficult for them to oper- ate as Fenian organisers and prop- agandists in the regiment. Although gazetted as deserters, they remained on in Dublin, hiding in safe Fenian houses, and working among the sol- diers for the lrish Republican Brother- hood. The inside of the pub was dimly lit, but a fire blazed at one end. The 'Cur- rans of Clare Lane' was a byword amongthe Fenians in the city, and was a favourite meeting-place of the lead- ing I.R.B. men of the British regiments stat~onedin Dublin. The men who were in the pub on that evening were all ca- valrymen from the Fifth Dragoons and the Tenth Hussars who had joined the Fenian Brotherhood. Martin Hogan did not pause in the bar but continued upstairs to a private parlour. He stepped inside the room, and thus began for him a nightmare that was only to end ten years later in one of the most audacious escape stories in Australian penal history -the Catalpa Rescue - in which he was to play a key part. The men had come to the pub that evening on the orders of John Devoy, the lrish Republican Brotherhood's chief organiser for the British Army.

  • 205 SIR CHARLES GAVAN DUFFY (1816-1903) His New Gate Prison Cell Lock Cover Plate
    164 205 SIR CHARLES GAVAN DUFFY (1816-1903) His New Gate Prison cell lock cover plate. The rectangular metal plate painted on both sides with white numerals ‘22’, 12.8 x 10.1 cm. Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, Irish nationalist, politician, journalist and 8th Premier of Victoria. He was arrested in 1846 following an attempt at insurrection in Tipperary and was imprisoned in Richmond Prison on a charge of sedition based on his involvement with ‘Young Ireland’ and articles that had appeared in The Nation, which he edited and co-founded with Thomas Davis and John Blake Dillon. Duffy was first imprisoned in New Gate, which served as a holding facility for prisoners, prior to his conviction and removal to Richmond prison. He was later released in April 1849. In 1856, disheartened by the political atmosphere in Ireland, he emigrated with his family to Australia and later became the 8th Premier of Victoria in 1871. This unique item bears a typed clipping attached to the rear of the number plate, though not entirely readable, it recounts the return of Sir Charles Gavan Duffy to New Gate prison prior to its demolition in 1893 wherein he visited his old cell and asked the new owner of the property for the lock so that he might return to Australia with it. The transcription of this text is as follows: Mr. T Byrne… sends us the… “After the purchase of Newgate Jail… by my father, the late Mr. ____ Byrne b____ 38 and 39 J_____ street. In the course of his taking down the old building, the late Sir Charles Gavan Duffy called into the jail and asked to be shown the cell he was confined in.
