Stone by Stone: How Ireland Built a Republic
An independent, non-commercial history of Ireland, moving from Gaelic kingdoms and Viking settlement through conquest, famine, emigration, and the founding of the Republic.
Field notes
The project uses a chronological chapter structure, beginning with pre-1169 túatha, Brehon law, monasteries, and Irish learning before moving through conquest, plantation, famine, independence, and the Republic. Its stated method is to distinguish documented dates, statutes, treaties, and figures from legend or disputed evidence; Laudabiliter and battle-before-dance folklore are given as examples. The homepage also extends the subject beyond political events to farms, galleries, museums, cafés, pubs, music, and cultural symbols.
