Hamilton Reading Room 80454033 The Irish War Stephen Hutcheson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Irish War" by David Burr and the Public Library of Fort Wayne and Allen County is a historical account published in the early 1950s. This document recounts a specific incident involving conflicts among Irish laborers working on the Wabash-Erie Canal in the 1830s, illustrating how ethnic rivalries from their homeland led to violent altercations in their new environment. The pamphlet aims to provide valuable historical context and insights into labor relations during the canal's construction. The narrative focuses on the turmoil that arose between two factions of Irish workers, known as "Corkonians" and "Fardowns." As regional animosities followed them to Indiana, tensions escalated into physical confrontations, leading to fears for personal safety and property. The account details events leading up to a significant riot, the mobilization of militia to restore order, and the eventual arrests of some ringleaders. Through Burr's detailed report, the pamphlet elucidates the challenges faced by immigrant laborers and highlights larger themes of community, conflict, and the struggle for order amid rapid development.
