Don Meade very kindly gave me a copy of his excellent article. It was in New York Irish History.Speaking about Ned Harrigian, Bob Conroy and I have worked up a Harrigan song and, if we get bold, we will uncork it in Inishowen. Harrigan (1845-1911) grew up on the Lower East Side his writing is a first-hand report.
All the best,
Dan
