Gone But Not Forgotten Historic Graves of Kerry

I am currently in the process of marketing my humble offering on historic graves of County Kerry, published in May of this year. It is essentially the story behind who is buried in the county and their contribution to the heritage of Kerry. It is an eclectic mix and the contribution of Kerry people on a national and international level to politics and literature, among others, is also acknowledged. As my book is self-published, I have to market it myself which is both an exciting and daunting task. It is great to meet book sellers with a passion for books and the invaluable tips they give me are much appreciated. 

Copies will soon be available for sale on line but as I myself prefer to look at a book first, it will be also be available in select shops. 

It is currently available in Charlie Byrnes of Galway, Alan Hanna of Rathmines, Hodges Figgis of Dawson Street, Dublin. I march on the Kingdom of Kerry next week so check this site for availability.

It can also be bought from me directly for the reasonable sum of 15 Euro plus 5 euro postage and packaging (anywhere in the world).

Ballymullen Barracks, Tralee

 Very little remains today of Ballymullen Barracks, built around 1819.  The area was the sight of several execution with most victims still buried in unmarked graves as was British policy from the 19th century on. The plaque below commemorates three Republicans, one of whom was  a deserter from the British army, executed by Free State forces at Ballymullen following a firefight at Clashmelcon Caves in the final stages of the Irish Civil War.

 Usually, I would not touch or read such a card on a grave, but the author bade the passerby to read it.
