John Ferguson, 1836-1906: Irish Issues in Scottish Politics | Elaine McFarland | Tuckwell Press | 2004 | This biography of John Ferguson (1836-1906) examines his work in organising Irish people in Glasgow. He had an early attachment to Fenianism but then turned to constitutional means of fighting for Irish Home Rule. He was also active in the labour movement and was a co-founder of the Scottish Labour Party in 1888. He owned a publishing business and used this to publicise the causes he fought for. This study also looks at the Irish community in Scotland and how they have played an important role in modern-day Scottish politics. | 1369 |
