As a young man, Stephen Gwynn travelled through Counties Donegal and Antrim on a bicycle, enabling him to take a close-up view of the townlands, rivers, lakes and historic sites he visited. This is his account of his trip through Donegal. His loving interest in its history brings this accounts to life, revealing as it does, the hidden stories and associations behind the evocative exterior of the land. We get an account of ancient Gaelic Ireland: its holy places and its warriors - the O'Donnells and O'Neills. We hear of their tragic demise and the confiscation of the land they had to abandon. Though this book was written over a hundred years ago, the old Ireland he wrote of has left a lasting impression on the landscape, though it is fast fading. A reader who shares his passion for fishing and cycling will gain the additional pleasure of reliving these experiences as they were over one hundred years ago.

"A Cottage in Donegal" opens in 1919 with a rural Irish woman writing about her husband's death and burial. In the depth of her grief, as Mary is all alone in their bedroom for the first time in over 50 years, she feels the intense need to record everything so that she will not forget him. Almost 10 years later, she finds the account that she wrote of those long, heart rending days at the bottom of her own knitting basket. She decides to write the story of her life so that her posterity will appreciate the strong legacy that was passed on to them. Mary is an old woman, with over eighty years of experiences and memories. So, over the next three years, she hides the fact from her family that she is recording her life. From that point, the story is chronological, beginning first with her birth in 1847 and culminating with her death in 1932. Mary "Hudie" Doherty lived her entire life in the same townland in County Donegal, Ireland. Her story is informative, historically accurate and draws the reader into a 19th century Irish country woman's life. It is an entertaining and evocative read. The book, written in memoir form, is from Mary's perspective.

In this accessible and lively book, local historian Sean Beattie explores the dramatic impact of the newly formed Congested Districts Board (CDB) on the economic, political, and cultural life of County Donegal. The starting point is the year 1891, when Arthur Balfour, as Chief Secretary, established the CDB as a regional development agency for eight western counties, including Donegal. At that time, County Donegal was recovering from the effects of the Land War and a series of bitter harvests. In an attempt to end the cycle of poverty, the CDB set out to raise living standards by promoting industrial development, investing in maritime resources, increasing agricultural output, opening up new opportunities for women through arts and crafts, introducing the concept of self-help at the local level, and breaking up large estates for the benefit of tenant farmers. Pursuing an aggressive policy of rail extension to develop communications and improve marketing, the CDB made it possible to travel by train across the county from Carndonagh to Burtonport. The most outstanding success story was the carpet manufacturing industry in south Donegal, with Killybegs Carpets being recognized as a world leader. Impressive results came from the Lace Schools in Ardara and Glenties, as well as other training initiatives. Coastal towns, such as Killybegs, became a hub of activity as new piers, boat yards, and fish-curing stations came on stream. In 1923, when the CDB closed its doors, there was a new air of optimism in the county.

In addition to detailing their Donegal roots, the book contains stories of life in their parents' home villages of Annagry and Kincasslagh and as well the authors' own upbringing as first generation Irish- Americans on Staten Island. The book contains numerous historical photos, family trees and other archival material which document the lives of these four native families of Donegal.
