In the Midst of Alarms

In the Midst of Alarms is a story of the attempted Fenian invasion of Canada in 1866. A self serving, roguish, newspaper reporter from New York heads off to Canada on his vacation to get away from it all with his former friend - a very sincere, self conscience and well mannered Canadian professor. In the midst of their wooing and ensuing complications a war breaks out. A rag-tag army of Irish-American immigrants invade the neighborhood in their attempt to conquer Canada and force England to free the Irish.
