1867rif. 47391Dublin: P. Brereton Printer 1867. Very Good. Dublin: P. Peter Brereton Printer ca. 1867. First Edition. Pictorial broadside 28.25x11cm; woodcut illustration followed by a ballad. Mild rubbing and toning to edges; Very Good and sound. John Morrissey 1831-1878 known as Old Smoke was an Irish-American politician bare-knuckle boxing champion and criminal. While this fight at Tierra del Fuego is not historically verified clearly Morrissey was the model for the hero. Born in County Tipperary Ireland his family emigrated to the U.S. when Morrissey was still a child. Among the exploits that would make him a folk hero in Ireland were his winning of the heavyweight boxing championship fighting and possibly murdering Bill the Butcher and testifying against Boss Tweed and winning a State Senate seat on an anti-Tammany platform. A version of this ballad is included in Sandburg's The American Songbag. Brereton printed a number of these Irish Street Ballads which were cheaply and carelessly printed as they are riddled with errors. "A closer investigation reveals the blemishes of composition—inverted letters multiple type-faces broken sorts uneven leading etc. Clearly neither the printer nor reader cared much for these minor details. The broadsheets were printed quickly and inexpensively" Kuhn. A lovely survival of Irish street literature highlighting the connection between the country's print trade and its robust oral tradition.

He fought clean and took his beating like a gamester” then noting that Young Togo had been “full of malaria” at the time.1 In the same article sports journalist Otto Floto described Togo as “one of the very toughest boys of his weight” who “seems to be invincible.” Togo may be Koriyama Kokichi the head coach of YūjirÅ Watanabe’s Nippon KentÅ Club founded in 1921 in Tokyo; Boxing: A Quick Guide 1923 a book written by the pair in Japanese identifies Kokichi as “Young Togo”. 1 “What Nelson Thinks Of Fort Smith Fans By Battling Nelson” Southwest American March 1 1912 5. unknown
