The Wearing of the Green
Alexander Martin Sullivan (1830-1884) was an Irish politician, lawyer and journalist from County Cork. Entering into journalism in 1850, Sullivan became assistant- editor of the The Nation, and subsequently editor and proprietor. In conjunction with his elder brother, T. D. Sullivan, he made The Nation one of the most potent factors in the cause Irish Nationalism, and also issued the Weekly News and Zozimus. As a member of the Dublin Corporation he secured a magnificent site for the Grattan Monument, towards which he donated 400, the amount of a subscription by his admirers while he was undergoing imprisonment for a political offence in 1868. He was engaged in many notable trials. His last great case was in 1883 when he was colleague of Lord Russell in the defence of Patrick O'Donnell for the murder of James Carey, an informer. In addition to his labours Alexander Sullivan was a great temperance reformer. He also wrote The Wearing of the Green; or, The Prosecuted Funeral Procession, The Story of Ireland and New Ireland, as well as contributing many sketches to Irish Penny Readings (1879-1885).
Éirinn & Iran go Brách
This book analyzes particular patterns of nationalist self-configuration and nationalist uses of memory, counter-memory, and historical amnesia in Ireland from roughly around the time of the emergence of a broad-based non-sectarian Irish nationalist platform in the late eighteenth century (the Society of United Irishmen) until Ireland’s partition and the founding of the Irish Free State in 1922.

Tarnished Hero
James mark Sullivan was part of the post-famine Irish immigration to the United States in the late 19th century. Overcoming family misfortune, he moved from newsboy to journalist to Yale-educated lawyer. Relocating to New York City, his association with Tammany Hall involved him in the "Crime of the Century" Becker-Rosenthal murder case, a role not previously explored. Sullivan's involvement won him a patronage appointment as ambassador to Santo Domingo. Scandals about graft and corruption forced his resignation. However, another factor which contributed to his dismissal, unexplained until now, was his effort at subversion of his government's policy of neutrality, which was connected to his ties to Irish nationalism. He later established the first indigenous Irish film company with a pronounced Nationalist agenda, making several films which are now classics of the silent film era. Following the death of his wife and son during the influenza epidemic of 1918, he returned to the United States. Failing to revive his legal career, he removed to Florida, dying in relative obscurity.
