History of Clonmel

This scarce book was originally published in 1907 and comprises a comprehensive and informative look at the history of the country town of South Tipperary in Ireland. Containing a wealth of information and anecdote which is still useful today. The district of Clonmel in the beginning of documentary history was inhabited by a Celtic tribe who bore the name of the Deisi. Traces of an older people, probably non-Aryan, exist in some place names, those especially of prominent natural features, such as rivers and mountains. An interesting read that is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of any historian or lover of the Emerald Isle.
