Biography

Bloodless Revolution Ireland's Land Wars 1880's Edward Gayer Irish Journalist 1820-1884

​

A biography of Edward Gayer, my great grandfather, proprietor editor of the Sligo Champion newspaper 1878 -1885 Ireland.  I review his editorials and articles in the paper he was invited to turn into an organ for Irish Nationalism in Sligo in the West of Ireland. He had to tackle pernicious Organism which dominated all aspects of administration in Sligo, and so he became Sligo’s first Catholic Poor Law Guardian and strongly promoted the election to the Parliamentary seat of Sligo of his friend Thomas Sexton. Gayer was himself a main player in the Irish National Land League with a personal goal to ensure land agitation was constitutional and non violent. He shared monster meeting platforms with most members of the National League Committee, and was himself prosecuted in the first of the State Trials. His Irish American citizenship and competent defence by the young lawyer Moriarty (eventually Attorney General for Ireland) saved him from incarceration.
