SYNOPSIS: The barbaric Donnelly feud, by far the most notorious and violent in the annals of North America, was an almost endless series of depredations exemplifying human depravity at its worst. It began in the spring of 1847 only a few hours after James Donnelly, an Irish immigrant, arrived in Lucan from his native Tipperary. It lasted for nearly thirty-three years--a succession of murders, gang wars, robberies, mass arson, derailed trains, mutilations and barbarisms unparalleled in modern history. The mastermind behind these crimes was a very unusual woman--Johannah Donnelly, who even as life was being clubbed from her, set a curse on those who were killing her husband and family. For sheer savagery, the Hatfield-McCoy affair and the exploits of Jesse James seem a Victorian tea party compared to the Donnelly feud. The Black Donnellys describes with verve and insight the story of those lawless years and the demonic family who were hated by everyone who came in contact with them. The story of James and Johannah Donnelly, their seven sons and one daughter is an engrossing saga of one family's reign of terror. Thomas P. Kelley is the author of many crime and adventure stories which have appeared both in magazines and in book form. To gather material for The Black Donnellys he spent a considerable time in the Lucan area talking to old-timers, and searching through old newspaper, police and court records. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ex-Library.
