Ancient Sweet Donoughmore: Life in an Irish Rural Parish to 1900

Timmy Dan McCarthy and wife Mary (nee Ahern) Lackabawn, Donoughmore striking an elegant pose during the Land War era. Since its publication Ancient Sweet Donoughmore: Life in an Irish Rural Parish to 1900 has captured the imagination of many local history enthusiasts and commentators. In its own inimitable style the book has shown what a local publication can convey not alone a story of similar parishes but embraces the history of Ireland. Easy to read the reader can dip in and out as they please with riveting and fascinating human stories from prehistory up to the end of the 19th century. Generously illustrated with photos, maps, tables and line drawings it is supplemented with relevant references, citations and appendices. Guaranteed to enthral and delight even the casual reader it transports one back in time and gives the feeling of almost living each era by its vivid narrative and engaging tones.
