John Devoy (1842–1928) was an Irish rebel leader and exile, known for his involvement in the Fenian movement. Born in County Kildare, Devoy became involved in Irish nationalist activities from a young age and joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) in 1861. He participated in the Fenian Rising of 1867, for which he was imprisoned, but later managed to escape to the United States. In America, he played a significant role in organizing and funding the Fenian movement, advocating for Irish independence through various means, including journalism and political activism. Devoy's efforts were instrumental in keeping the Fenian cause alive during challenging times, and he maintained close ties with Irish nationalist leaders and organizations. Despite setbacks and betrayals, Devoy remained dedicated to the cause of Irish freedom throughout his life, influencing generations of Irish Americans and leaving a lasting legacy in the struggle for Irish independence.
