Biography

Background

Growing up the son of a poor Catholic/Nationalist clerk in the mostly Unionist/Protestant town of Coleraine, Ireland, Sleater found the pressure of small town life unsuited to his knack for adventure and organization.

Prior to the Irish War of Independence, Sleater worked as a cattle inspector in Coleraine ("Ourselves Alone"). At 17 he volunteered to fight the British, but was turned down twice by Sinn Fein politician John McGarrigle ("Battle of the Century"). Owen's nationalist instincts and talent for organisation and skills that included marksmanship, explosives and political subversion propelled him to join the Irish Republican Army, then fighting a War of Independence (1919-1921) against the British in order to procure a United Irish Republic. Later he worked as an advance man for McGarrigle and was responsible for ensuring his safety on a fundraising trip around America in the winter of 1920-1921, that took them to New York, Boston and Chicago before recalling on Atlantic City ("Ourselves Alone").
