Links to Writings:

Online:

These seem to be the most readible: Letter and Confession

Sorry about the denominational nature of the site.

Will be copying to our own web space soon, Lord willing.

Books:

The Steadfast Man contains the writings as an appendix and is a well written, thoroughly researched biography as well.

Confession and Letter for $6.25 - looks okay

And the Confession, particularly, seems to be showing up in public libraries these days.

More later, Lord willing.

Happy Birthday, Bard from Tralee

The Bard from Tralee (not to be confused with the Rose of Tralee) was actually born on the seventeenth of March.

But, very sadly, the birth of the Bard was officially recorded as being on the eighteenth of March and propriety demands that birthdays be celebrated on official dates of birth.

So we celebrate the birth of the Bard from Tralee on the eighteenth of March.

The difficulty in recording the date of birth properly was undoubtedly due to the fact: that, in those days, in County Kerry, they had no calendars.
