Irish 19th-century famine accounts

Posted here rather than in the rantodrome because this is a source of contemporary and later 19th-century accounts of the Irish famine, which might be of interest to people who would like to read from quasi-primary sources about a period in Irish history which had a significant influence on the dissemination of the music to many parts of the world: http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x6779.xml

Very interesting. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks. I loved the collection of 400 Irish photographs. The commentary on them, written in 1898, was fascinating.
