Защо Garryowen в ръгбито се нарича Garryowen?

Защо Garryowen в ръгбито се нарича Garryowen? Разглеждаме високия удар, известен още като " up-and-under" или "bomb". Онези, които са на определена възраст, си спомнят коментарите на Бил Макларън, които имаха много, много акценти

Разглеждаме високия удар, известен още като ” up-and-under” или “bomb”. Онези, които са на определена възраст, си спомнят коментарите на Бил Макларън, които имаха много, много акценти, когато той беше “Гласът на ръгбито”. Една от любимите му фрази беше свързана с бившия ирландски халф Тони Уорд, който изиграва 19 мача за страната си между 1978 и 1987 г., преди да се насочи към журналистиката.…

Let Bacchus' sons be not dismayed But join with me, each jovial blade Come, drink and sing and lend your aid To help me with the chorus:

chorus: away with spa, we'll drink brown ale And pay the reckoning on the nail;No man for debt shall go to jail From Garryowen in glory.

We'll beat the bailiffs out of fun, We'll make the mayor and sheriffs run We are the boys no man dares dunIf he regards a whole skin.

Our hearts so stout have got no fameFor soon 'tis known from whence we came Where'er we go they fear the name Of Garryowen

Billy Griffin of the Irish Wilderness

Billy Griffin of the Irish Wilderness

One of the great rewards of researching, writing and publishing our books on the Ozarks has been learning more on the subjects from people who are personally connected with them. Such is the case with our two books on John Joseph Hogan and the Irish Wilderness in Oregon and Ripley counties. We recently received emails from Juliana Billingsley asking for help researching Billy Griffin, her second…

Garryowen, Montana

Let me start off by saying this town holds a special place in my heart. I had the great fortune of working here in the summer of 2017 at the museum as a summer intern! Booming with a population of one, this small town which consists of a museum, post office, and restaurant lays in the heart of the Crow Reservation in Montana. The complex stands on where the infamous Battle of the Little Bighorn began.

For those who may be unfamiliar, the Battle of the Little Bighorn in brief was a conflict between forces of the U.S 7th Calvary led by Brigadier General George Custer and their Crow allies and the combined forces of the Sioux, Nothern Cheyenne, and Arapaho led by leaders like Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. The final result was a decisive victory for the combined Native forces and massacre of the 7th Cavalry. (Look out for another post later about the national monument that’ll go into more detail of the battle.)

Now back to Garryowen! The town was named by Buffalo Bill Cody after the Irish drinking song “Garryowen” that was the marching tune of the 7th Cavalry. It still remains to be the 7th’s fighting song to this day! Garryowen’s claim to fame is famous for being the location where the first shots of the battle were fired when Major Marcus Reno failed to charge into the massive combined native village and was forced to retreat. In fact, the residential quarters in the back of the property are the approximate spot where Sioux leader Sitting Bull had his teepee when those shots went off. For those who are traveling on the I-90, this is a must stop shop to get your history fix before seeing the National Monument down the road.

Before you walk in, take some time to honor the fallen by laying down flowers or taking a moment of silence in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Dedicated in 1926, exactly 50 years after the battle, General Godfrey and White Bull, who both were present in the battle, met to shake hands and buried the hatchet between the two cultures...literally. Among the many artifacts buried in the tomb to commemorate peace, one was a hatchet that inspired the phrase “bury the hatchet” today!

My next piece of advice is to visit the museum inside the complex. In there you can find incredible artifacts that include Tom Custer’s pistol he dropped when killed on Last Stand Hill, Sitting Bull’s death mask, Crow scout White Swan’s rifle used in battle, and George Custer’s gauntlets that were taken from his body after he was killed. Inspiring intrigue and wonder, these artifacts even garnered a prime time spot on Travel Channel’s hit show, Mysteries at the Museum! A $4 million collection, this small museum has the world’s largest collection of artifacts pertaining to the battle.

If all the talk of battle hasn’t killed your appetite, you have to go over to Garryowen’s only restaurant, Bury the Hatchet BBQ, on the other side of the complex that boasts of having the best brisket in town! Once you’re full, take some time to walk through the gift shop to gather your souvenirs to remember the small town with a big impression.
