The Fairy-faith in Celtic Countries by Walter Yeeling Evans-Wentz Pdf

In this study, which is first of all a folk-lore study, we pursue principally an anthropo-psychological method of interpreting the Celtic belief in fairies, though we do not hesitate now and then to call in the aid of philology; and we make good use of the evidence offered by mythologies, religions, metaphysics, and physical sciences.

The Fry Site by David M. Stothers,Patrick M. Tucker Pdf

The Fry site (33Lu165) was an Ottawa (Odawa) farmstead on the lower Maumee River of Ohio that existed A.D. 1814-1832. Excavations revealed an Ottawa bark burial with trade goods, a cabin or shack, and an animal pen or compound. The material culture consisted of a wide variety of Native and Euro-American manufactured artifacts, including trade silver. The bark burial with trade goods is dated A.D. 1780-1809, slightly earlier than the farmstead occupation. The farmstead is connected with the Roche de Boeuf and Wolf Rapids bands of Ottawa that were removed to Kansas Territory in 1832. The Ottawa Tribe of Oklahoma are the descendants of these Maumee River Ottawa.

Illustrated History of Dungarvan by Edmond Keohan Pdf

Originally published in 1924, this first Dungarvan history book set the standard for future local historians. Keohan used all his journalistic skill to provide an entertaining and very readable eyewitness account of the Dungarvan from over a hundred years ago. This new much expanded edition published by Waterford County Museum includes an author biography by William Fraher, photos from Keohan's photographic career, a tourist guide to Dungarvan from 1917 and a history of Abbeyside Castle published in 1916. This volume also contains annotations to the original work by Cian Flaherty and William Whelan. These annotations provide definitions for terms no longer in common use and notes occasions when Keohan may have been incorrect in his historical suppositions. This is no fault of the author as he was working with the material available at that time. The real strengths of the book are the chapters covering the 19th and early 20th centuries when Keohan provides us with an eyewitness account of events that shaped the town and country to this day.
