Roise Rua: An Island Memoir

I was born on the 13th of March 1879 in Sheskinarone about a mile from Dungloe in the Rosses of Tirconnell. My poor mother, God rest her, never had any book-learning during her life - in fact she couldn't even tell the time from the clock. In spite of that she had a handy way of reckoning my age.
