This is the story in letters of two Irish families, the Donovans of Dreenlamane, Ballydehob and the McCarthys of Ballinlough, Leap. Both homes were in south-western County Cork. They were ordinary farming families in 19th century Ireland. The usual tools of genealogy provide us with the bare bones of the individuals in the story. We can learn about births, family names, marriages, and deaths. But, by a series of unexpected coincidences, we have been given flesh for those bones. The names and dates provided by genealogy have been given personalities and voices and individuality. We know their words and ideas, joys and fears, the inner concerns and shared touches of humor, because the Donovans and the McCarthys wrote letters to their family in America. And one Donovan and one McCarthy saved the letters. These 200 letters have much in common, though the families who saved them did not. They were written in the late nineteenth-early twentieth century, many of them in Ireland, others by immigrant friends in America. The recipients in all cases were Irish immigrants, with the vast majority of the letters being sent within the first five years of their arrival in America. The two major recipients, Dan Donovan and Nora McCarthy resided in Haverhill, a shoe manufacturing center in the northeast corner of Massachusetts. Combined, they offer a rare retrospect of the daily rural life west of Cork and the Irish perception of life in America.

Somerville's account of the Irish Famine was first published in 1852, but was contained within a much longer three-volume work on free trade, titled The Whistler at the Plough, and has remained relatively unknown to historians. Among its strengths are its descriptions of rural hardship, its efforts to understand why Ireland was suffering, its personal account of the famine, its use of verbatim evidence, and the author's empathy with the Irish and English poor. Includes a detailed introduction by editor Snell.

Discovered by Teresa Irish in her father’s Army trunk shortly after his death in 2006, the letters and photographs in this book are a personal record of his experience as a soldier of World War II. Selected from the nearly 1,000 letters addressed to his parents and to the sweetheart who would later become his wife, this firsthand account through the eyes, heart and words of one soldier mirrors the journeys of many who served in WWII. At every opportunity, Bud poured out his thoughts and feelings in these letters, all amidst reassuring words to loved ones a world away. From lonesome, moonlit nights listening to the Hit Parade, to the foxholes and front lines in Germany where he would earn the Silver Star and the Purple Heart, to correspondence from the heartbroken mothers whose sons had died by his side, “A Thousand Letters Home” is a moving and historic story of life and loss, hope and perseverance, unwavering faith and true love.

Excerpt from Letters From Ireland These Letters were communicated to the Daily News' during my journey in Ireland this last autumn. A reprint of them, as a volume, has been asked for, and I now obey the call. My readers will take them for what they are - a rapid account of impressions received and thoughts excited from day to day, in the course of a journey of above 1200 miles. I have thought it best not to alter them, either in form or matter. There would be no use in attempting to give anything of the character of a closet-book to letters written sometimes in a coffee-room, sometimes in the crowded single parlour of a country inn, - now to the sound of the harp, and now to the clatter of knives and forks, and scarcely ever within reach of books therefore have I left untouched what I wrote, even to the no tices of passing incidents as if they were still present.
