Preface xiii I am grateful for financial support and encouragement in the writing of this book to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the School of Graduate Studies and Research of Queen's University, the Directorate of Multi- culturalism of the Government of Canada, and the Tyrone Guth- rie Centre, Annaghmakerrig, County Monahan. [...] News- papers in the British Isles, the Canadas, and the United States charted the inexorable march of the dread disease from the 4 Donegal's Own Baltic countries to the Mediterranean basin and into central France. [...] His first response to the news that the Catholics were doing some- thing strange with turf and ashes was to open the Book of Revelation and ponder the section describing the signs of the end times. [...] The moment came in the small hours of the morning of the fifteenth of June. [...] The name Dun-nan- Gall, the fortress of the foreigners, refers to its Vikings settlers, but the town as the Whites knew it had been shaped by the "plantation of Ulster." Early in the seventeenth century, the control wielded by the Gaelic chiefs of Ulster was finally broken and large parts of the north of Ireland were opened to settlement by Protestants from England and Scotland.
