Irish Historical Allusions, Curious Customs and Superstitions, County of Kerry, Corkaguiny

A vivid portrait of County Kerry unfolds through a blend of myth, folklore, and everyday rituals. The author weaves together ancient legends of the Milesian arrival, the fierce contests with the Tuatha‑de‑Danaan, and the lingering superstitions that still color the landscape today. Readers are invited to explore how these stories shaped the identity of the region’s people and their customs.

The work also bears the imprint of its own turbulent history. Written amid the chaos of the 1916 uprising, the manuscript survived fire and loss, leaving only fragments that the author painstakingly reconstructed. Within those pages, the early battles on Slieve‑Mish and the heroic deeds of Queen Scota’s kin come alive, offering a glimpse into the formative moments of Irish heritage while preserving the personal voice of a father addressing his son.
