Our first article this edition is a report of the large outdoor rally that took place in the village of Tulsk in October 1903, when the leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party, John Red-mond, came to address the people on this very topic. Also in the edition this month is a Kilmurry school inclusion in the Duchas Folklore Collection from the 1930s, on Toberelva cemetery. We also remember Mary Flanagan, of Tomona House, whose journey into Russia at the outbreak of World War One is the stuff of epic adventure.
With great enthusiasm Tulsk History Society brings you the first edition of our new bulletin. The title is a tribute to that great former resident of the parish: Percy French. Percy, as we all know, grew up in Cloonyquin, and in one of his earliest forays into writing he came up with his own youthful newsletter, which he named The Tulsk Morning Howl.
