Even the Heather Bled - Joe Mc Gowan

Even the Heather Bled is a chronicle of the Irish Civil War centred on events in Sligo and further afield. It tracks Ireland’s crucible of conquest, colonisation and survival from the Norman invasion to the birth pains of the Irish Nation in the 20th century: Penal Times, the Great Hunger of Black ’47, and Sligo’s part in that journey are all here.
