The SLNCR was a remarkable concern in many ways. The last standard gauge railway in these islands to retain its independence, latterly all its locomotives, which only ever had names - they were never given numbers, were of the unusual 0-6-4 tank type, and all were built by Beyer Peacock in Manchester. It was also a diesel pioneer, railbuses and a railcar operated most of the passenger service from the 1930s onwards. The line's single track connected Sligo, on the west coast, to Enniskillen. Never prosperous, the SLNCR relied heavily on its powerful neighbour, the Great Northern, which it joined at Enniskillen, as an outlet for its traffic, of which livestock was a major component. Ironically, it was the demise of these GNR lines, which precipitated the closure of the SLNCR in 1957. The book takes a gentle photographic ramble along the course of the line, lingering at the wayside stations. Many aspects of the system are explored including its locomotives, passenger and goods stock, signalling and the company's bus services. Examples of timetables, tickets and other SLNCR ephemera are also recorded. The memory of this delightful, singular, quirky, this somehow quintessentially Irish railway system, is beautifully evoked in the book's superb collection of photographs, which mostly date from the last 20 years of the line's existence. The sixth title in Midland's successful and acclaimed Irish Railway Pictorial series; Covers a line which is known to many but on which Iittle has been published over the years; The photographs and station plans will be be of interest to modellers looking for interesting and unusual prototypes; The same excellent review coverage, which the other titles in the series have received, is anticipated on publication; The book will receive strong local promotion in the counties in Ireland once served by the railway

A fascinating study of the effects of the Irish Civil War in Sligo, a relatively quiet county, during the War of Independence, which proved to be one of the most troublesome areas for the Free State Army in the Civil War. For a long time, the west of Ireland had been largely overlooked in studies of the war. Farry discusses the social and economic effects of the war: the build-up to conflict, the progress and geography of the war, the disruption to the daily lives of citizens, education, transportation, law and order, also there is a chapter on how the Protestant community was affected. This is a highly successful marriage of political, social, and economic history. ""Solid and illuminating""--American Historical Review.

This book investigates how the anti-grazing agitation known as the Ranch War (1906-1909) in Ireland operated at local level in Co. Sligo by focusing on the activities of the Riverstown United Irish League (UIL) branch. One of the most dramatic incidents of the agitation occurred in October 1908, when a young man named John Stenson was shot dead by the police at a cattle drive in Riverstown. At this time, the Riverstown UIL branch was operating a boycott of local Protestants (who refused to join or subscribe to the league) that led to a government prosecution known as the 'Riverstown conspiracy' case. Some of the major issues in Irish rural society during the period were played out at local level in Riverstown: the debate over law and order * the importation and distribution of guns * the tensions created in the nationalist movement by the Ranch War agitation * the emergence of a more extreme form of nationalism * unionist concerns over the fate of the loyal Protestant minority in the west of Ireland. While the various incidents at Riverstown may have been parochial in nature, they acquired national significance and, as this study reveals, attracted the attention of the leading politicians of the day.

A distinguished group of specialists examine afresh issues of particular concern to historians of the Spanish Armada. In particular they look at the contemporary Spanish view of Philip II's imperialism (Watson); at the composition and equipping of the fleet (Martin, Thompson, O'Donnell); at the unpredictable influence of outside agents, notably the Dutch fleet and the appalling weather of 1588 and its consequences (Schokkenbroek, Daultrey, Hogueras and San Pio); and at the reflection of the Armada in the myths and literature of the time (Fernandez-Armesto, Calvar, the editors). The editors also translate and annotate de Cuéllar's remarkable first-hand account of sailing with the Armada.
