History to Chew On, Brown Bag Dinner Series

Maggie Delaney: The Story of an Indentured Servant A Living History =
Presentation by Carol Jarboe August 14, 2012
6 pm

Held indoors at McConnell Springs, 416 Rebmann Lane, Lexington KY 40504.
Bring your own brown-bag dinner. Soft drinks and bottled water are =
provided. Free and open to the public. Seating is limited, please call =
to let us know you're coming, 859-225-4073.

Forced from her homeland of Ireland, Maggie Delaney, with her husband =
and children, came to the American colonies as an indentured servant =
hoping to find a better life. Instead, she found sorrow and hardship as =
she was forced to serve whatever master paid her indenture. This moving =
tale brings to light the difficult and heroic journey that many of our =
ancestors took to secure themselves in a new land during the 17th and =
18th centuries.

Carol Jarboe, educator and history enthusiast for many years, followed =
her husband into Living History as a fresh and exciting way to explore =
the lessons of the past. She became fascinated with the lives of the =
indentured servants and their role in the settlement of our nation. Here =
was a story that begged to be brought to life and so after two years of =
research, the role of "Maggie" was born.

From: Patrick Maume
To mark the opening of the 2012 London Olympics, the online magazine
SLATE has published a piece on the "Irish Whales" - the Irish-American
athletes of the early C20 who were conspicuous at the 1908 London Olympics
- and their social and political implications for the Irish-Americans of
their day. I thought members of this list might be interested in it:
http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/fivering_circus/2012/07/irish_whales_america_s_gluttonous_english_hating_gold_medal_winning_olympic_heroes_of_the_early_20th_century.single.html
One question that has often puzzled me is whether the Olympic gold
medallist Martin Sheehan might have been related to PAtrick Joselh
Sheridan, Land Leaguer connected to the Invincibles. Both men were born in
Bohola, Co. MAyo - PJ in 1844, Martin in 1881 - and the fathers of both
were tenant farmers called MArtin Sheridan. Might they have been uncle and
nephew, or cousins? I don't know if anyone has ever looked into this -
perhaps I should go to Bohola sometime and investigate.

Dear Jim

How about Bob Quinn's short film, Family (about the Screamers at Burtonport=
- some members may remember their house, Atlantis) runs approx 30 mins (ava=
ilable on DVD from his website) , followed by an episode or two of the Rodd=
y Doyle TV series 'Family' (also on DVD). For more up to date, but just as =
downbeat, Lance Daly's 'Kisses' or an episode from Lenny Abrahamson and Mar=
k'O'Halloran's 'Prosperity'. You'll have to email Lenny and ask him for 'Pr=
osperity' as RTE never released it commercially.

Colleagues,
I find myself teaching Modern Irish History for the first time this fall =
and, though I probably already know the answer to this question already, =
can anyone recommend a textbook that covers Irish history from c. =
1600-1998, other than Foster's _Modern Ireland_?
Many thanks,
Matthew Barlow.
