image preview

On this day, 193 years ago, Frederick Cavendish launched the Connaught Telegraph in Castlebar. Three days later, the Freeman's Journal noted that the paper's first edition 'evidences a great deal of talent in its conductors.' Sometime after the death of Cavendish, it came to be understood that the Connaught Telegraph was founded in 1828. This error was not subsequently corrected.
