Much has been written and reported on the broad canvas of the history of County Wexford over the centuries, but Famous Wexfordians seeks to revitalise interest in some of the principal players that have almost faded into obscurity. This book tells the story of maritime adventurers, sports personalities, artists, musicians, soldiers, political eladers and princes of the Church, who have all left an indelible mark on the south-east corner of Ireland. Author Liam Gaul offers a thorough and absorbing account of Wexford's lesser-known history through these who have lived in and visited the county.
Liam Gaul is the current president of Wexford Historical Society and has contributed many articles to historical journals on the culture, traditions and people of County Wexford. He received a Civic Award in 1992 from the Mayor and Corporation of Wexford for his contribution to Culture and Education in his town. He holds a Master of Arts (University of Limerick) and a Diploma In Local History (National University of Ireland, Maynooth).
