  Congratulation for your beautiful Album.

• CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY said:

  The Irish have contributed so much to America. Fought, bled, and died during the Civil War, under both the Union and Confederate Flags. John Mitchel's sons fought during the Civil war, though on the Confederate side. He had his reasons.

• Nydialy said:

  From the Wikipedia page of Balbriggan, 54 houses and a hosiery factory were destroyed during the "Sack of Balbriggan" on 20 September 1920. The US delegation pledged to rebuild 30 homes and a factory.

• Niall McAuley said:

  Wikipedia says:: On Monday 21 September 1920 during the night the Black and Tans sacked the town of Balbriggan in County Dublin, Ireland. ... On Clonard Street, 20 houses were destroyed. Several pubs were looted and burned including Derham’s Pub and McGowan’s Pub on George’s Hill. Overall a factory, 49 houses and four pubs were burnt down. This is presumably the ruins of the factory.

• Niall McAuley said:

  On the OSI 25" map (somewhat earlier date) there are no factorys on Clonard Street, but there is a Linen Factory on George's Hill.

  This photo has been blogged to Old Steel, New Library of Congress on Michigan in Pictures. It's so great to see my all time favorite web site becoming a part of my all time favorite community site! Much as I love Detroit’s rich industrial history, I really hope that you can put a few photos from elsewhere in the state, including some that highlight Michigan’s natural beauty! In any case, you are very cordially invited to add your Michigan photos to the Absolute Michigan pool!

• Andrew McFarlane said:

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Absolute Michigan, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.
