What's New At donnellys.com
New Book!!
LUCAN: Home of the Donnellys By: Terry Culbert

[image] Lucan: Home of the Donnelly - book cover

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 the 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.
