I just finished reading Trinity (Leon Uris) again, having first read it 13 years ago. I noted a reference to Napper Tandy, as a historical figure. I was unaware that he actually existed outside the song, Wearing of the Green. As far as I know, it could be a result of literary license by Leon Uris. I looked for a reference to Napper Tandy in several places, and have yet to find him in any encyclopedia or search engine, outside of the Irish ballad. Have you any idea where I can get historical information on Napper Tandy. The reference in Trinity grouped him with Protestant Ascendancy Patriots like Wolfe Tone, Robert Emmett, and Charles Stewart Parnell.
