This classic and well-loved history of Sligo was first published in
1889. 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.
