Antique Needham Conversion of Model 1861 Bridesburg Rifle Musket Used in Irish-American Fenian Brotherhood Invasion of Canada
Description:
Antique Needham Conversion of Model 1861 Bridesburg Rifle Musket
Used in Irish-American Fenian Brotherhood Invasion of Canada
Here we present an antique Needham Conversion of a Model 1861 Bridesburg Rifle Musket with a fascinating story to tell. Bridesburg Rifle Muskets were purchased as surplus just after the American Civil War by a secret Irish-American society calling themselves the Fenian Brotherhood. The Brotherhood plotted to invade and take over Canada (a British commonwealth) in order to negotiate the independence of Ireland from Britain.
The first attack happened in June 1866 just over the border from Niagara, New York. The attack involved 600 Fenians against a column of Canadian Volunteers, and the attack was successful. However, upon retreat back to the U.S. they were arrested and the guns confiscated. A short time later, the guns were released back to the group via political connections and a second attack was plotted. The Rifle Muskets were quite obsolete by this time, so the Brotherhood updated them using the patent of J&G Needham of England. The work was done in a shop in Trenton, New Jersey to about 5,000 rifles in 1869. This time the invasion was through Vermont in May of 1870 and involved 200 Fenians. This attack failed and resulted in their capture, ending a little known chapter in world history.
This piece is in fantastic condition. This is a Civil War dated (1864) piece with a ton of American, Irish, British and Canadian history woven in as well. It is certainly a telling reminder of how long the Irish have been struggling against their conquerors. Don’t miss out on this seldom seen relic of Irish history!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. No other examples found worldwide. You won’t find this anywhere else!
Barrel is round and 36 inches in length.
