Beautiful Ireland: Leinster

By Stephen Lucius Gwynn

Journey to the beautiful Irish province of Leinster. This informational tour covers some of the rich history of Ireland's eastern shore. With twelve gorgeous full color illustrations, this charming little book is a delight to read. First published in 1911, this little book briefly discusses Dublin's Danish origins, the Norman conquest, Saint Patrick, and unfortunate aspects of Irish history such as the Irish Slave trade (white slavery) wherein Irish men and women were shipped to the Caribbean to work as slaves on plantations.
