(Louis George) L. G. Redmond-Howard

b. 1884

Best known for a vivid firsthand account of the 1916 Easter Rising, this Irish writer moved close to the heart of the political world he described. His books connect biography, nationalism, and eyewitness history in a way that still feels immediate.

About the author

Louis George Redmond-Howard was an Irish author born in 1884. Available catalog and bookseller records consistently identify him as a nephew of the Irish nationalist leader John Edward Redmond, and several sources note that he was taken in by his uncle after the death of his parents.

He wrote about Irish politics and history at close range. His best-known book, Six Days of the Irish Republic (1916), is a contemporary account of the Easter Rising, and records of his other books show a wider interest in public life, including Home Rule, The New Birth of Ireland, and a biography of John Redmond.

The surviving public record appears patchy, and I couldn't confirm a reliable death date from the sources available here. Even so, the outline is clear: Redmond-Howard was a politically engaged Irish writer whose work offers readers a direct window into one of the most dramatic periods in modern Irish history.
