Hi Folks, attached is the free update from Books Ulster regarding some new stuff added to their library. WHile much is generic Irish some items are of interest to the Ulster disapora: a bio of WIlliam Orr of County Antrim, hung in 1798 a recounting of South Carolina from clergy there to people back home on what to expect if they emigrated. This is mid 1800s. a recounting of Grosse Isle and the tragedy that met Irish emigrants during the Famine. Etc...etc. most of this stuff was written at the time and is not processed and reprocessed through various political agendas or attempts by historians to understand...you get to read and understand it yourself. My version had hot links but after being massaged by my email system it may require that you click on the link below. Sorry!!!
