Excerpt from Owen Roe O'neill
For the present my only intention has been to bring back to Irishmen the remembrance of a great man, who, by the completeness of his endowment in intellect and virtue, by his commanding mind, charac ter, and will, is lifted into the highest rank of heroes.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
Owen Roe ON eill, the most illustrious man of action that I relan! has produced, still remains almost unknown to his countrymen and to the world. His name indeed has been brought home to the I rish people by the genius of Davis, but no one has endeavoured to give to this nominis umbra substance and form. The history of this great man is indeed to be found only in the crude materials of contemporary documents, for writers of his own and later times, while mentioning his name with admiration and praise, have left the records of his life almost untouched.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous history of 17th-century Ireland, a period marked by English conquest, religious conflict, and the struggle for Irish self-determination. The author meticulously examines the complexities of Irish society, exploring the divisions and alliances among the Old Irish, the New Irish (Norman-Irish), and the English of the Pale. As religious tensions escalate, the book highlights the rise of a nascent Irish national consciousness that transcends ethnic and regional boundaries. At the heart of this narrative stands Owen Roe O'Neill, a pivotal figure in Irish history. The author portrays O'Neill as a man of exceptional intellect, military prowess, and political acumen. His life and career become a lens through which to understand the broader historical forces shaping Ireland's destiny. The book traces O'Neill's journey from exile to his eventual return to Ireland, where he assumes leadership of the Irish Rebellion of 1641. Through O'Neill's story, the author explores themes of resistance, rebellion, and the pursuit of liberty. The book delves into the political and religious motivations behind the Irish uprising, shedding light on the complex interplay of local grievances and international politics. The author's analysis of O'Neill's leadership and the strategies employed by both the Irish and English sides provides a nuanced understanding of this critical period in Irish history. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling portrait of a nation grappling with oppression and striving for self-governance. By illuminating the life of Owen Roe O'Neill and the historical context of his time, the author provides valuable insights into the enduring struggle for Irish independence and the complexities of identity, faith, and nationhood.
