In
1947, at the age of 18, Thomas Gilrane immigrated from County Leitrim
to America.
His childhood of farming, family, hard work and religion provided
him with all he needed to succeed. His memoir details life growing
up in a thatched cottage, without electricity, water or any modern
conveniences. The simple joys, challenges and difficulties that were
typical of living a traditional farm life in rural Ireland are described
in vivid detail.
It is a fascinating journey, and one that was common for thousands
of Irish families in the early 1900’s. He tells his story as
he remembers it —Just the Way It Was.
