John Blake Dillon, Young Irelander
Dillon (1814-66) was a co-founder of the Nation newspaper and a leading member of the Young Ireland group. After the attempted rising in 1848 he escaped to the United States, where he worked as a lawyer for eight years.

This contextual biography of Dillon is long overdue, it is based on primary sources, mainly the Dillon papers in Trinity College, Dublin.
