The Autobiography Of Theobald Wolfe Tone

This two-volume autobiography of Theobald Wolfe Tone, completed after his death by his son, was published in Washington in 1826. It contains accounts of his adventurous life and his key role in the foundation of the United Irish Society in 1791, as well as extracts from his journals, letters, and political works.

Comprised mainly of correspondence, diaries, autobiography, pamphlets, public addresses, and miscellaneous memoranda, this collection includes all of the writings of Theobald Wolfe Tone: barrister, United Irishman, agent of the Catholic Committee, and officer in the French revolutionary army. This is the second of three volumes and covers Tone's attempt to settle in America, the early days in France, his negotiations with the Directory, his entry into the French army, and the expedition to Bantry Bay.
