| Summary | "Irish Historical Allusions, Curious Customs and Superstitions, County of Kerry" by Patrick Foley is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work provides an extensive examination of the rich tapestry of Irish history, customs, and superstitions, particularly focusing on the County of Kerry. It combines folklore with historical narratives, shedding light on the cultural heritage of Ireland and the various societal changes it underwent. The opening of the text begins with a dedication to the author's son, followed by a brief history of Ireland, tracing back to the arrival of the Milesians and their encounters with other tribes. It highlights significant historical events, such as the battles against the Danes and the English invasions, as well as the impact of key historical figures and movements on Irish culture and identity. The narrative then transitions into discussing local customs and superstitions, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of unique practices and folklore specific to County Kerry that continue to influence the region's identity.
