The Sunny Side of Ireland: How to See It by the Great Southern and Western Railway
1900
Imagine boarding a steam engine in 1900, bound for a Ireland where bandits still haunted the mountain passes and the railway itself was a marvel of modern engineering. This is the Ireland John O'Mahony invites you to discover: a land of ruined castles, windswept cliffs, and vibrant cities suddenly made accessible to the adventurous tourist. The guide sweeps you from Dublin's grand thoroughfares through the enchanted counties of Cork and Kerry, past the ancient walls of Limerick and into the pastoral heart of the western countryside. O'Mahony writes with the enthusiasm of a man who believes rail travel has unlocked Ireland's deepest secrets, and his descriptions of landscapes, coaching inns, and historical sites offer a remarkable window into a world that vanished with the twentieth century. For readers who cherish vintage travel writing, railroad history, or the romance of exploring how previous generations saw the Emerald Isle, this guide is a small treasure.
