LUCAN: Home
of the Donnellys
By:
Terry Culbert
Paperback
- 192 pages Publisher:
General
Store Publishing House: ISBN: 1897113315
Second
Printing
Price:$24.95
Mr.
Culbert, a lifelong supporter and promoter of the village of
Lucan, is
donating a portion of the proceeds of each book sold to the Lucan
Area Heritage Donnelly Museum.
Terry
Culbert's love of his Irish roots spawned this unusual look at the
Irish-Canadian
village where he grew up. Lucan, a half-hour north of London, Ontario,
suffered a violent beginning with the massacre of five Donnelly family
members in 1880. Those brutal slayings went unpunished.
The first
third of Culbert's
book is Donnelly related, with many stories never published before. The
retired television news journalist, photographer, and artist has filled
his book with dozens of illustrations and photographs.
The
compilation of short
stories not only includes the Donnellys, but village commerce, village
life, sports, and music from past to present. Many of Culbert's stories
focus on interesting characters and events that have contributed to
Lucan's
rich history. Two and a half years in the making, Lucan: Home
of the Donnellys is an engaging collection of Canadiana.
The
Black Donnellys:The
Outrageous Tale of Canada's Deadliest Feud, by Nate Hendley, a
Toronto-based
freelance journalist, was published by Altitude Publishing, Alberta, in
the Spring of 2004. The book looks at the notorious Donnelly family of
Lucan, Ontario. After fleeing poverty-wracked Ireland in the 1840s, the
Donnellys established themselves on stolen land in southern Ontario.
The
seven Donnelly boys and their father soon acquired a reputation for
violence
and mayhem, burning down barns and assaulting townspeople. The family
seemed
unstoppable, until a vigilante group decided to seek a permanent
solution
to their reign of terror.

Description: A
non-fiction historical account that follows the lives of the surviving
members of the Donnelly family after the massacre through the years
from
1880 to 1900 on. Read the actual testimonies that were recorded at the
Coroner's Inquest and the murder trials. Find out what became of each
Donnelly,
who they married, how many children they had, what businesses they went
into, other troubles that befell the family, and how, when, and where
they
died!
Based
on a lifetime of research, this follow-up to The
Donnelly Album contains much new material, previously
unpublished
photographs of the Donnellys, their families, associates and enemies
and
many fresh insights.
In
Search of the Donnellys does not retell the Donnelly story, but
approaches it from a different angle: it recounts the author's own
personal
adventures in searching for the information from the beginning to the
present.
While Fazakas stands by the original telling, the book fills in some
gaps,
expands some areas and further accounts for some of the controversy
which
continues to surround this fascinating bit of North American folk
history
with Irish roots.
This
companion to The
Donnelly Album fills in further gaps including the subsequent
lives
and fates of characters in the story such as Maggie Thompson, Sam
Everett,
the Keefes and the O'Connors as well as members of the infamous Peace
Society.
There are some surprising discoveries made since the publication of the
first edition. The latter include the finding in Ireland of the brother
of the niece Bridget, the discovery of a second Flanigan's Corners in
Texas,
the unexpected revelation that the Donnellys had a Protestant
background
after all and much more. Illustrated with numerous photos that include
new previously unpublished pictures, this revised edition is selling
quickly,
so order your copy today!
