Thomas Russell

Russell, T[homas] O'Neill (1828-1908), novelist (pseudonym, ‘Reginald Massey’) and founding member of the Gaelic League with Douglas Hyde and others. Born in Co. Westmeath of Quaker stock, he first stated the case for language revival in The Irishman (1854).

In True Heart's Trials (1872) the scene shifts between the Irish midlands and American backwoods.
