This classic and well-loved history of Sligo was first published in 1889. The present edition has been reformatted using a pleasing modern searchable text, retaining the original illustrations. Also, new notes have been added.
Its author, the Rev. Archdeacon Terrence O'Rorke, was born and bred in Sligo, This important history is, of course, a product of his times and situation, however, it remains a work of fascination for anyone with connections to Sligo's past and its people, and - because of the importance of the events played out in that county - an important reference for anyone interested in the history of Ireland.
