Part I

We have received many requests for an outline of the early history of Ireland. In 1905 Professor C. A. L. Totten published "The Story of Ireland" which we have condensed and are republishing that DESTINY readers may have access to this interesting information. – ED.


The early story of Ireland is common, neutral, middle ground for all concerned. Its facts, fancies, legends and lore belong to all classes of Irishmen. They are also shared by all who speak the current English tongue without regard to any present tribal, political, religious, social or mystic bonds and ties – because Irish history begins chronologically far beyond the days of Deborah and ten-tribed Israel's Assyrian captivity (720-718 B.C.)
