Excerpt from History of Sligo: County and Town, From the Close of the Revolution of 1688 to the Present Time, With Illustrations From Original Drawings and Plans
A work entitled "The Rude Stone Monuments Of Ireland (Co. Sligo)" contains all the information that the writer could gather concerning the local megalithic structures of primitive antiquity scattered throughout the district. Next comes "The History of Sligo, County and Town," which, beginning at the legendary period, carries the recital down to the close of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth.
The second part of this work, starting from the accession of James I., continues the narration almost to the close of the 17th century; and from that date, the present volume carries it on to the times in which we now live. Much of the information herein contained has been extracted from old newspapers, pamphlets, and publications of every sort relating to the district. Many interesting details have been kindly furnished by friends who, either from long residence or family connexion with the county, became well acquainted with the traditions still current in many rural localities. For those whose homes are in the district of which this history treats, it can scarcely fail to be of interest to know how their immediate forefathers lived, and how our various institutions grew up and developed.
