#OTD #CivilWar hero Thomas Cass was born in Queens County, Ireland, and 8 months later emigrated to #Boston's NorthEnd. A popular civic, business militia leader, he was chosen by Governor John Andrew to lead the #Massachusetts #irish 9th regiment in June, 1861. Cass was mortally wounded at the Battle of Malvern Hill, Virginia, on July 1, 1862, and brought back to #Boston, where he died. Visit his statue in Boston Public Garden along the #irishheritagetrail and a plaque at The Prado in the North End from his neighbors. irishboston.blogspot.com/202… #meetboston

On May 26, 1647, the #Massachusetts General Court officially passed a law banning Catholic Jesuit priests from the Bay Colony. This anti-Catholic sentiment, based on Puritan ideology, lasted for centuries in #Boston. irishboston.blogspot.com/202…

With @RedSox 2026 home opener on Friday, April 3, sincere shout-out to Charles E. Logue, the #Irish immigrant from #Derry who built @fenwaypark back in 1912. Described by writer #JohnUpdike as "a lyric little bandbox of a park," #fenwaypark is one of America's most beloved landmarks. It is part of Boston's #IrishHeritageTrail, a trail of public landmarks celebrating the #BostonIrish. irishboston.org/2025/fenway-… #meetboston @FenwaySportsMgt @HelloGreenway @RedSoxFund @Derryvisitor
