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!
This
compelling look into the lives of the surviving Donnellys includes:
... Coroner's
Inquest and Murder
Trial testimonies.
... Various newspaper
clippings,
and letters written by William Donnelly.

certificates regarding
Robert Donnelly's admittance

MORE!
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!
