Download or read book Highways and Byways in Donegal and Antrim - Part One - Donegal written by Stephen Gwynn and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young man, Stephen Gwynn travelled through Counties Donegal and Antrim on a bicycle, enabling him to take a close-up view of the townlands, rivers, lakes and historic sites he visited. This is his account of his trip through Donegal. His loving interest in its history brings this accounts to life, revealing as it does, the hidden stories and associations behind the evocative exterior of the land. We get an account of ancient Gaelic Ireland: its holy places and its warriors - the O'Donnells and O'Neills. We hear of their tragic demise and the confiscation of the land they had to abandon. Though this book was written over a hundred years ago, the old Ireland he wrote of has left a lasting impression on the landscape, though it is fast fading. A reader who shares his passion for fishing and cycling will gain the additional pleasure of reliving these experiences as they were over one hundred years ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Irish Shores: A Journey Round the Rim of Ireland' tells the story of a hitchhike around the West of Ireland's coastline. It conjures up a picture of a pre-Celtic Tiger Ireland, reminding us that that was not really very long ago.

Book Synopsis Ulster and the City of Belfast by : Richard Hayward
Download or read book Ulster and the City of Belfast written by Richard Hayward and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Hayward made a massive contribution to the cultural life of Ireland. He promoted and acted with the Ulster Literary Theatre and worked with Tyrone Guthrie as one of the first artists in broadcasting. He did much to revive the interest in Irish songs, anticipating the great revival in traditional ballads and airs of the 1960s and 70s. His films included 'The Voice of Ireland', 'The Luck of the Irish'and a cameo appearance in 'The Quiet Man'. His travel writings embrace the whole of Ireland and remain relevant today. This is apparent in his interest in local history and archaeology and also his enthusiasm and respect for the Irish language, place names, folklore and dialects. None of this he found incompatible with his interest in Orangeism and his membership of the Orange order, thus placing him in the long tradition of Irishmen who could love and respect their county, without denigrating the traditions of others.
Book Synopsis Travels in Ireland Ð Part 2 by : Johann Georg Kohl
Download or read book Travels in Ireland Ð Part 2 written by Johann Georg Kohl and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JG Kohl's account of Ireland in 1844 gives us a glimpse of the years after Catholic Emancipation and before the Irish Famine. His journey took him through the four provinces. Part Two takes him to Tarbet, Tralee, Killarney, Bantry, Cork, Kilkenny and Waterford. As a German traveller he makes insightful comparisons, not only with the British mainland, but with other parts of Europe. He visits isolated settlements, hedge schools, Killarney and meets the gentry, traders, fisherman and small farmers along the way. He comments on their struggles, lifestyles, habits, transport and customs. He examines the development of food processing in Cork and the export trade of Waterford. He revels in the beauty of the rivers that flow into the southern harbours of Ireland and discusses at length three great Irish passions of the time - horse racing, temperance and repeal. A wonderful resource for local historians and those of Irish descent who want to know how their ancestors lived. Footnotes and an index have been added.
Book Synopsis Travels in Ireland by : Johann Georg Kohl
Download or read book Travels in Ireland written by Johann Georg Kohl and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A German traveller's perception of Pre-famine Ireland, with explanatory notes and index added to the original text. This is a snapshot of an Ireland that was about to vanish. Two years after the publication of this book, the Great Irish Famine ravaged the land, hastening the end of Gaelic Ireland and the Irish language. Kohl's journey took him through the four provinces and the cities of Dublin, Limerick, Waterford and Belfast. He encountered such men as Daniel O'Connell and the great temperance campaigner, Father Mathew. He talked to beggars in their huts, gentry in their countryseats and men of religion. He visited monastic relics, archaeological sites, linen factories steeple-chasing, and a range of diverse places, always reminding the readers of the poverty of the ordinary people, social injustices and the wretched conditions in the country. His commentaries are enlivened with information about the historic context and folklore associated with the locations he visited.

This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Donegal and Antrim I have laid myself under so many debts in this task of compilation that it is impossible to make complete acknow ledgment: yet I cannot omit some mention of Dr. Macdevitt's excellent volume T fie Donegal For the history I have consulted chiefly the Dz'efz'onmy of National Bz'ograpny, Hill's Illaea'onne/ls of Anz'rz'in and of course o'curry's edition of the Annals of Me Four Masters. I owe a more personal debt to my friend who is known as Moira o'neill for her permission to reprint two charming lyrics, and acknowledgments on the same account are due to the editors of the Specialer and Blaeewaod's Magazine. But chiefly I have to thank Mr. John Cooke, editor of Murray's Hand-wok 10 Ireland, first for the assistance afforded to me by that excellent work, and secondly for his great kindness in revising the proof sheets of this book. To my many friends in the North I owe a gratitude which goes back to days long before I ever troubled them about things that I was writing; and I entreat their indulgence for stories maimed in the telling, and for whatever else I may seem to have written amiss in these pages which treat of a country not to be separated from my remembrance of them.
