LOUGH CORRIB, ITS SHORES AND ISLANDS, WITH NOTICES OF LOUGH MASK. By Sir William R. Wilde. 306 pages, originally published at Dublin, Ireland, in 1867.

This scarce and entertaining local history book describes the history, folklore, antiquities and topography of the Galway -- Mayo border area in the west of Ireland. The individuals named in this work were primarily the wealthy estate owners in the area, but this work will be of interest to anyone with ancestors from the region, indeed from anywhere in Ireland, for the historical perspective it imparts.
