T. D. Sullivan's Bantry/Berehaven/O'Sullivan Sept — the 19th-c. Bantry-nationalist history of the family's region

Summary

T. D. (Timothy Daniel) Sullivan's local history of Bantry, Berehaven and the O'Sullivan Sept — the late-19th-c. nationalist treatment of the same Beara region the Murphys came from. T. D. Sullivan (1827-1914) was a Bantry-born nationalist MP, journalist and Lord Mayor of Dublin; this is his book-length history of his home territory. Pairs with the O'Halloran 1916 West Cork history as the two standard secondary sources for the region's pre-1900 past, and with the 1907 Fall River Globe clipping which credits William D. Dwyer of Bearhaven with a *third* (popular, diaspora-press) telling of the Morty Oge legend. Held in both PDF and EPUB formats locally (~7.3 MB PDF, ~4.4 MB EPUB), gitignored, referenced by filename.
