Thomas Miller Beach (who used the alias Major Henri Le Caron) (September 26, 1841 – April 1, 1894) was an English spy. His services enabled the British Government to take measures which led to the fiasco of the Canadian invasion of 1870 and Kiel's surrender in 1871, and he supplied full details concerning the various Irish-American associations, in which he himself was a prominent member. His infiltration of the Fenians and subsequent reports and espionage greatly aided Canada in protecting itself from the Fenian raids which took place from 1866 - 1871. For twenty-five years he lived in Detroit, Michigan and other places in the United States, paying occasional visits to Europe, and all the time carrying his life in his hand. ==Early career== Beach was born in Colchester, England. He had an adventurous character, and when nineteen years old went to Paris, where he found employment in business connected with America. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Miller Beach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
