- The Victorian Spy
Henri Le Caron (1841-1894) went to Paris at 19 and found employment in business connected with America. Infected by the excitement of the Civil War, he crossed the Atlantic in 1861 to enlist in the Northern Army. In 1865, he came into contact with the Fenian movement and, having learnt of the Fenian plot against Canada, wrote home to his father. Beach Snr told his MP who in turn told the Home Secretary, and the latter asked for more information. Le Caron, inspired by genuinely patriotic feeling, offered his services and turned from restless adventurer to spy.
