Galway Indo: W Henry's outstanding articles

bobbyss

Probably the best part of the Independent I find is his articles. I am pretty sure that he has written some books on Galway history but there have been many articles or should I say series of articles over a period of four or five weeks about for example Cromwellian Galway that I would like to read but either haven't got that week's paper or whatever.

He is an outstanding writer. Anyone know when he started writing for the Independent and how one could access all his articles since he started.

I'm not sure if the Galway Indo's on-line system includes a full archive or not - you could join up (it's free) here, and have a look: http://www.galwayindependent.com/epaper


He's also published a lot of books - and I have a feeling that at least some of them are compilations of his newspaper articles (or maybe it's the other way around - the paper published excerpts from the books). See a list here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=william+henry+galway - I think that at least some are available in local shops.
