1866 1871 facts
While investigating facts about 1866 1871, I found out little known, but curios details like:
George Eliot's novels include Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871-72), and Daniel Deronda (1876).
That, between 1866 and 1871, some Irish nationalists launched attacks on British army forts, customs posts and other targets in Canada in an unsuccessful attempt to get Britain to withdraw from Ireland.
