Michael Dwyer first came into prominence in the '98 rebellion, whn he helped to recruit rebel bands in the Co. Wicklow to aid the Wexford insurgents.
The greater part of his life was spent in alternate vigils in the mountains, and watching for spies and informers, which were often followed by desperate raids and skirmishes with the Yeomen and the Militia.
