Description
Betsy Gray Or Hearts of Down A Tale of Ninety-Eight by W.G. Lyttle The legend of Betsy Gray remains a compelling story, over two centuries after the 1798 rebellion in Ireland. This account of events in the area before, during and after the rising continues to grip the imagination, based largely on interviews with locals whose relatives suffered during the conflict. The author's conviction in Betsy Gray's identity and origins is evident, despite the fact that the story is not entirely historical. A new edition of this novel includes an introduction to the author and his work, an essay on the legend of Betsy Gray, additional footnotes and a glossary of words used in the dialogue. This edition provides a fresh perspective on a fascinating period in Irish history. Published in 1888, this book offers a unique insight into the events of the time, and its enduring popularity is a testament to the power of storytelling.
