Dunfermline-based writer Tom Minogue has invested many hours into better understanding how a riot in his hometown in 1850 could result in thousands of rioters running out the Irish residents from his Scottish hometown. Check out his five-part series! https://t.co/afzFga3kpX

#Cavan-born immigrant Thomas "Broken Hand" Fitzpatrick was a trapper, Indian agent and explorer who blazed many of the trails that allowed settlers to cross the American Rockies. AOH historian Mike McCormack relates the story. #AmericanWest #MountainMen https://t.co/xIYs8qnULp

IRA Volunteer Seán Treacy was perhaps the most committed and daring of the men and women determined to gain Irish independence from Britain. Joe Gannon presents the stirring story of Treacy's life, and death in a gun battle on the streets of Dublin. https://t.co/UgsyqUohlD #IRA

Nye knew where the bodies were buried in NYCs Irish cultural scene, and he never blabbed. He was a true believer, and we loved him as well as were exasperated by him at different times. Nye was an original -- no finer tribute for an artist. RIP

We are deeply saddened by the passing of former Irish Arts Center director Nye Heron. Our deepest sympathies go to all his loved ones, and the many friends he made throughout his decades with IAC.

Phil Sheridan claimed birth in Albany, N.Y., the child of John and Mary Meenagh Sheridan, Irish Catholic immigrants from the parish of Killinkere in County Cavan, Ireland.

Sheridan's Raid on Richmond may seem like a footnote to Civil War history, but try dismissing its impact on anyone watching 10,000 men and horses blow past on dusty Virginia roads. Within 3 days, the Federal cavalry was within an hour's trot of Richmond. https://t.co/o5H9VVTDu7

What's in the name of #Brooklyn's McCarren Park and environs? Author and native son Geoffrey Cobb wanted to find out. The park's Nulty Square caught his eye, and Cobb went to work. T. Raymond Nulty was a fallen soldier in #WorldWarI. That's just the start!

Joe Gannon relates the dramatic, improbable story of Roscommon's key role in the Irish War of Independence. The story is not often told, even within the county's borders. Everything you might want to know about the war in Roscommon. #irishfreedomstruggle

Kathleen Clarke is often overshadowed by her famous husband, Tom, a fervent Irish republican who was shot by the British for his role in the Easter Rising. Among her accomplishments: She was an early Irish feminist and first female mayor of Dublin. https://t.co/uIae4goDrI

@idgeet Our condolences! Sad news, certainly. Where there is life -- and faith, there's hope!

@TheWildGeese's @flavorsofirelan presents a carrot cake recipe so delicious it stands the test of time, with cream cheese icing. Yum. Let's just call it 'eye candy'!

@MOLSCEAL @Stairnahireann @CCLCnaC @OldeEire Captivating imagery! Alas, I have next to no Gaeilge, so much of the narrative went by me. Lovely to see the centennial commemorated so handsomely and appropriately. @gerregan
