Synopsis
'Straight from the horse's mouth' is a wonderful phrase that is widely used across ireland. it means the source of a story is reliable and the story told is accurate. So Straight From The Horse's Mouth was the ideal title for the range of captivating first-hand accounts of rural life in earlier times, gathered as part of the history Links Project. this project was developed to build cross-border and cross-community links and help strengthen the distinctive fabric of diverse townland groups across east Donegal and West tyrone. these stories - anchored as they are in a particular time and space chosen by each townland - tell of people at work, home and leisure in an era of much change. Some reveal the harshness of children hired out, traditional jobs lost or workers toiling long hours for little reward. others tell of more enjoyable times, of lasting friendships and smuggling adventures on the border. the incidents and accidents of rural life are a source of fascination to many people and are often the threads that bind communities together. Woven with care and fondness, this colourful tapestry of human activity is presented here for all to enjoy.
