Bio is inaccurate
[edit]The information about O'Brien being born "Michael" is true, but the information about changing his name to "Fitz-James" once he came to America is inaccurate. He signed his name "Fitzjames" to one of his earliest poems "Oh! Give a Desert Life to Me" published in The Nation, 15 March 1845. There is other inaccurate or otherwise less detailed info that I could fix to this article. I did my dissertation on O'Brien, I have published a chapter of my dissertation in the Summer 2022 edition of the New York History Journal, and I am currently editing a 3 vol edition of O'Brien's speculative fiction with Swan River Press.

Is anyone monitoring this page?
[edit]The description of O'Brien's name origin is incorrect. Johnpirish (talk) 20:40, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
