Ogle Gowan was an Orangeman, a politician, a journalist, a rabble-rouser, and the illegitimate son of one of Co. Wexford’s most notorious anti-Catholics.  His use of violence to achieve political ends in Upper Canada made him a hero to some, and a villain to others – even members of his own family.  This episode explores Ogle Gowan’s life and career, and also investigates some very passionate love letters written by his wife…to his cousin.
