The second Irish county to be covered as part of the #ForgottenIrish campaign on Twitter was Co. Kerry. This follows on from the first featured county, which was Cork. As promised for those of you not on the platform, I will continue to use Storify to bring together the tweets on each county in one place, and combine them with related images, videos and websites that help to fill out the experiences of some of these Irish people during the period of the Civil War. If you are interested in seeing the Kerry story you can do so by clicking here. The third #ForgottenIrish county, Donegal, was featured on Twitter last night and will be the subject of a Storify post which I will share here in the coming days.
Reblogged this on THE GREAT IRISH FAMINE and commented:
Those of you familiar with the work of Damian Shiels in uncovering Irish participation in the American Civil War will be interested in his latest post in his campaign to highlight the #forgottenIrish of county Kerry
