Boston's Ode to Outlaw-Poet: A 19th Century Tribute

The John Boyle O'Reilly Memorial, measuring 2 ft 9 in x 2 ft 3 in x 1 ft 4 in, showcases a bronze head on display. Across the Fenway, an allegorical trio of Erin, symbolizing home, is joined by her sons, Patriotism and Poetry. This trio, measuring 6 ft x 7 ft x 3 ft 6 in, stands bold. A Barre granite wall,standing 10 ft high, serves as a sturdy base for the Milford pink granite foundation underneath. This 1896 creation, near Boylston Street, honors John Boyle O'Reilly, an Irish-born writer and activist who departed in 1890. A pioneer of urban Irish culture, he welcomed luminary personalities in Boston and championed freedom fighters like Charles Stewart Parnell.
