For detailed background and the context of this map, see Notes for ID #2387.01.
This map argues that even in Northern Ireland, the British partition of Ulster resulted in critical areas “torn from the province and the nation,” areas that were “the scene of events which shaped Ireland’s national greatness and strengthened the movement for independent nationhood.” The map identifies 15 such places by number, keyed to an explanation at the bottom of the page. Among these locations are the burial place of Saint Patrick and Saint Brigid; the site of a National Assembly in 574; and the locations of numerous battles and independence events from the 14th to the 18th century. Cornell University Library is pleased to present this digital collection of Persuasive Maps, the originals of which have been collected and described by the private collector PJ Mode. The descriptive information in the “Collector’s Notes” has been supplied by Mr. Mode and does not necessarily reflect the views of Cornell University.
