This book was drawn from a series of articles originally written for the Londonderry Sentinel about 1930, by Rt. Rev. Bishop Henry Montgomery KCMG DD (1847-1932). It is about the town of Moville, County Donegal.

It describes the origins of the town, what life was like in the nineteenth century, and contains many anecdotes and insights into the way of life in Inishowen.

1 - The beginnings of Moville
2 - The early history
3 - Life early in the 19th Century
4 - The progress of the Town
5 - The town becoming what it is today
6 - Schools - St. Columb's Church

8 - Greencastle Church
9 - Greencastle and Stroove

NOTE - The Londonderry Sentinel is based in the United Kingdom. My understanding of United Kingdom law is that the copyright exists for the life of the author, plus seventy years. These articles were therefore out of copyright in 2002, and may be published freely. If this is not the case I will remove these pages immediately I am advised on good authority that my interpretation is incorrect. The articles are drawn from a book published by The Foyle Press Ltd, Carndonagh, County Donegal which does not carry any copyright notice.
