Diary of an Irish Protestant during the Potato Famine

This diary was kept by an Irish Protestant between January 1, 1847 and September 9, 1849, who described the potato famine and other turmoil in Ireland.

In early 1847, the author resided in London, but traveled to both northern England and Ireland. He suggested that he could not reside with his family in Enniskillen due to monetary constraints, perhaps caused by the famine. From July 1847 to September 1849, the author traveled frequently between Ballinasloe, Galway, and Dublin, Ireland, with shorter excursions to Kilkenny, Kilconnell, and Sligo.
