Light of Other Days

Über Light of Other Days

In this story we hear echoing voices from a forgotten past. In the late 1500s in the dying light of Gaelic Ireland, Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, led the northern chieftains in a last brave struggle for faith and fatherland; to rid Ireland of an encroaching English influence, and to retain her ancient Celtic way of life. At the time of the Tyrone Rebellion the northern part of Ireland, together with the Western Isles and Highlands of Scotland were the last remnants of a 2,000 year old Celtic culture. The western isles furnished a cadre of elite mercenary warriors who fought for these northern chieftains. This book is a ramble through Irish history, and closely follows actual historical events. It is interspersed with chapters relating to more modern times that serve to link Ireland's past to Ireland's present, and that will acquaint the reader with how those events of the sixteenth century have had such an impact on modern day Northern Ireland.
