Summary

Cork-born Nellie Cashman emigrated to America and went on to be a total badass, a female prospector, business-owner and genuinely good person. It's a tough time of year and so I decided that for the month of November that I'm going to focus on the fun, ridiculous or downright cool parts of history. Also fairly certain you were traumatised enough in October!

And I have this whole joke about the Irish abroad is always a really good fun one for us specifically.
