The epic story of an Irish family in the 1840s immigrating to America, where love, adventure, tragedy, and a terrible secret are waiting.
The flight abroad of Ulster's Gaelic lords in 1607 opened the province for plantation by Anglo-Scots Protestant settlers. McCavitt explains this decisive event and its causes.
A story of tension, danger and conquest. When young Con disappears, the others must find him – and quickly. His father Hugh O'Neill, the great Ulster chieftain, is about to depart, forever. The Irish have lost at the Battle of Kinsale, and now there is nothing left for them in their own land. Hugh's son is in great danger – and he doesn't even know it! What would the English do to him if they caught him? Especially now as his father may be gathering another foreign army to threaten their own conquest of Ireland? Can his cousin and friends, Fion, Sinead and James, find him? Will their hunt across wild landscapes, through dense woodlands and over high mountains, chased by English soldiers and adventurers, and occasionally guided by the mysterious 'Haystacks', take them to the boy? Will they manage to get him to Lough Swilly in time for the escape boat to France? The Great Hugh O'Neill is waiting anxiously ... Based on true facts from the 1600s.
Until the end of 16th century, Ulster was the most Gaelic part of Ireland. Fifty years later, it was the last Gaelic part. In 1607 Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, and other Gaelic chieftains fled the continent and settled in Rome. Their lands were declared forfeit to the crown and were cleared for the plantation of Ulster, which followed.
Siblings who immigrated from Ireland to the United States find themselves on opposite sides of the Civil War and struggling to understand God's purpose in the midst of unspeakable tragedy.
Forget the boring stuff you learned in school. Here's the REAL skinny on Irish history.
