Michael Scanlan (10 November 1833 – 6 March 1917) was an Irish nationalist, editor, poet and writer. Known as the "Fenian poet" or the "poet laureate of American Fenianism", [1] he was the author of a number of Irish ballads such as the "Bold Fenian Men" and "The Jackets Green".
The word Fenian (/ ˈ f iː n i ə n /) served as an umbrella term for the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) and their affiliate in the United States, the Fenian Brotherhood. They were secret political organisations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries dedicated to the establishment of an independent Irish Republic .
The Fenian Cycle (/ ˈ f iː n i ə n /), Fianna Cycle or Finn Cycle (Irish: an Fhiannaíocht [1]) is a body of early Irish literature focusing on the exploits of the mythical hero Finn or Fionn mac Cumhaill and his warrior band the Fianna.

The Fenian Rising of 1867 (Irish: Éirí Amach na bhFíníní, 1867, IPA: [ˈeːɾʲiː əˈmˠax n̪ˠə ˈvʲiːnʲiːnʲiː]) was a rebellion against British rule in Ireland, organised by the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB).
Hugh Francis Brophy (1829 – 11 June 1919) was a leading Fenian and staunch supporter of Irish independence. He was convicted for his part in a plot to overthrow British rule in Ireland and establish a republic, and was sentenced to penal servitude. This sentence was later commuted to transportation to Australia.
However, this plot was exposed and he had to flee to the United States in 1866. When he arrived he found the Fenian movement in America divided, so he created the Irish republican organization the Napper Tandy Club on the Irish rebel Wolfe Tone's birthday on June 20, 1867, in New York as common institution to unite the divided Fenian factions.
