Norfolk author and historian Dr. David Beasley brings the 1866 Fenian Invasion of Canada to life with his presentation next month in Simcoe.
It’s part of the Norfolk Historical Society Speaker’s Series to be held 2 p.m., Saturday, April 9 at the Norfolk Golf and Country Club, Argyle Street, Simcoe.
It’s based on his novel, Spiral, and the discussion will delve into the raids on British Army Forts, customs ports and other targets in Canada carried out by the Fenian Irish Brotherhood whose goal was to free Ireland.
Admission is free but registration is required. Contact society president Michele Grant-Odegaard at ms.grantodegaard@gmail.com.
