Dublin: De Burca. Very Good with No dust jacket as issued. 2004. Fifth Edition. First Printing. Soft Cover. 0946130078 . Publisher's glossy wraps. Maps on inside of covers. The tragic event which became known as the Maamtrasna Murders took place on the 17 August 1882. Maamtrasna is a Gaeltacht area located on the shores of Lough Mask on the border between Galway and Mayo. A family of five were slaughtered in their mountainside cottage: John Joyce, his wife Bridget, his daughter, Peigí, and his mother Margaret were murdered. His son, Michael, was badly wounded and died the following day as a result of his injuries. The youngest of the family, Patsy, was also injured, but survived. The only other member of the family to survive the tragedy was a son, Martin, who was absent from the home as he was in service in Clonbur at the time. There is no consensus as to the motive for the slaughter and various theories have been suggested. The authorities claimed that John Joyce was treasurer of one of the local secret societies, Ribbonmen/Fenians, which opposed the landlords at that time, and they suggested the household was attacked because he was alleged to have misappropriated money belonging to the association. However, a more common theory was that John Joyce habitually stole his neighbours' sheep from the hills and that this was the prime motive for the attack. Others suggested that his mother, Margaret, was the principal target because she had allegedly informed the authorities about the location in Lough Mask where the bodies of two missing employees of a landlord had been dumped. Still others believed that the murders related to the overly close friendship between the daughter of the house, the teenager Peigí, and a member of the RIC, a relationship which wouldn't have been acceptable at that time. A miscarriage of justice was believed to have occurred when one of the Maamtrasna innocent was executed. Though the executed man had nothing to do with political nationalism, he may perhaps stand in the allegory as a martyr for what happened to Ireland over the centuries under English rule.. Covers mildly worn, else fine; unmarked, tight, square, and clean. VERY GOOD. . 8vo 8" - 9" tall. 335 pp .
