John Martin on 'Sunday Miscellany' this weekend
Our very prolific local writer John Martin will be reading on Sunday Miscellany on RTE Radio 1 his very interesting piece on General Custer's last stand at the famous 'Wild West' Battle of the Little Big Horn and its connection with a place not too far down the road from Kilcullen.
John's story is actually more specific, about one Myles Keogh who fought in that battle, a professional military man from County Carlow whose life is described as 'Three Wars, Two Continents, One Irish Soldier'. Yes, with a name like that, he had to have an Irish background. And John's take on the matter is a quite fascinating one.
Sunday Miscellany isn't too early, but it does tend to be a lie-on morning for a lot of people. Especially if you've been in O'Connell's the night before at the party related to the Pieta House fundraiser of this weekend.
So set the alarm.
