Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sally Cavanagh, or the Untenanted Graves: A Tale of Tipperary The story of Charles J. Kickham´s life, and the part he played in a stirring, yet sad, period of Irish History, still remain untold, save in an occasional mention in the narratives of the ´67 Movement; in short, he is known, so far, by his delightful novels; his memory lives in them. It is a pleasure to know, however, that the biography of this patriot, novelist, and poet is being prepared for press by one no less worthy of the honour because of his ability as a writer, than he is likely to do justice to the work because of the intimacy, social and political, that has existed between his family and Charles J. Kickham. As "Sally Cavanagh" is the earliest of Kickham´s novels, we offer no apology for introducing it to our readers by a short, but necessarily imperfect, sketch of the life and career of its author. He was born in the summer of 1828, at Mullinahone, a village in the County Tipperary, about three miles from the town of Callan and five from Fethard. His father, John Kickham, carried on a prosperous drapery business there, and was held in high repute in the district for his good sense and probity.
