Title: Headford, County Galway, 1775-1901
Description: "This short book examines how the daily lives of the residents of the town were transformed during that period, mirroring and sometimes deviating from the trends on the national stage. It explores the consequences of devastating famine and disease, and how changes in demography, in the political process and in education affected the daily lives of ordinary people. It also investigates the social, political and economic impact of the St Georges on the town."--BOOK JACKET.
