In Humbert’s Footsteps by Stephen Dunford

Description

This book follows broadly in the footsteps of General Jean Joseph Amable Humbert’s Franco-Irish army through Mayo. It is an honest, straightforward and sympathetic attempt to document the living heritage of ‘The Year of the French’ in Mayo, incorporating aspects of folklore, history music and geography.  It includes reproductions of selected photographs, illustrations and maps of the monuments, graves, landmarks and relics associated with the region’s social memory of ‘The Hurry’.
