FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE - The brothel madam who brought down America's most notorious bank robber
Public Enemy No. 1 and The Lady In Red
You may be familiar with Susan Hill’s ghost story, The Woman in Black, or with Wilkie Collins’s mystery, The Woman in White; in fact, there are many stories of ‘White Lady’ ghosts peppered all across the globe. But if black and white is a bit too monochromatic for your taste, there’s always The Lady, In Red to fall back on. She’s another type of ghost – said to be a rape victim, a prostitute or…

Gallipoli's Breakfast of Champions
As the blood-orange orb of the sun breaks cover on April 25 and begins to warm the morning sky, the beauty of that moment will be tinged with sadness at one cemetery in Dublin City. Grangegorman Military Cemetery, on Blackhorse Avenue in my old stomping ground of Dublin 7, is the final resting place for service personnel of the British Empire and their families, and contains war graves from both…

The race to the 'Promised Land'
The stakes that were planted in Oklahoma’s soil on April 22,1889, must also have pierced the hearts of every American Indian who watched it happen... #oklahomalandrush
They sat tensely in their wagons and buckboards, or on horseback, thousands of settlers reining in excitable, whinnying mounts whose hooves pawed the ground in anticipation, waiting for the moment when they could be unleashed into a madcap gallop that would vibrate the ground, sending up dust clouds on the plains that stretched before them. It was a minute to 12 noon on Monday, April 22, 1889,…

(via The Truth About Traitors...) One person's traitor is another person's rebel - it's all about how the circumstances are painted, as you'll find when you look at episodes in #Ireland's War of Independence, Finland's #WW2 fight with Russia and the struggle for racial equality in #America My blog...
Michael Collins makes for an easy hero – good-looking, vibrant, devil-may-care, intelligent, ruthless, brilliant, passionate, loyal… what’s not to love? But he was petulant, too, and careless, and …
Around the World in 44 Days With Denmark's Boy Wonder - How a globe-trotting teenager enthralled millions in 1928
Around the World in 44 Days with Denmark's Boy Wonder
How a globe-trotting teenager enthralled millions in 1928
How a globe-trotting teenager enthralled millions in 1928 The planet has become such a small place. Now, we can hold the world in the palm of our hand, scrolling on our smartphones from one country to the next while lounging on the sofa. Unfortunately, the more we open ourselves to the world on the internet, the less we get to see it for real. What a shame that is, because in shrinking the…

How Russia has used rape as a weapon of war
First, a warning for those of a sensitive nature, there are some upsetting descriptions in the paragraphs ahead… “Russian soldiers loot, rape and kill. 10 y.o. girls with vaginal and rectal tears. Women with swastika shaped burns. Russia. Russian Men did this. And Russian mothers raised them.

The Irish polar heroes who battled their way through certain death and into history...
The Irish polar heroes who battled their way through certain death and into history It’s Easter 1916, April 24, and some desperate Irishmen are about to launch a bid for freedom against overwhelming odds, but this struggle doesn’t have Dublin’s General Post Office as a backdrop, nor the British Empire as the enemy. No, this is an epic battle between Mother Nature and six brave men – three of…
