Margaret Haughery “Angel of New Orleans” was from Carrigallen, Leitrim. An illiterate business entrepreneur, she opened four orphanages in New Orleans and during the American Civil War fed not only the growing number of orphans but the needy too.
Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
