For centuries the Irish have been associated with a stick weapon
called the Shillelagh. And for generations of Irishmen, the
Shillelagh was a badge of honor - a symbol of their courage, their
martial prowess and their willingness to fight for their rights.
Irish Gangs And Stick-Fighting: In The Works Of William Carleton,
is a collection of stories about Irish stick-fighters, written in
the 19th century, by the Irish author William Carleton. Carleton
was a stick-fighter himself, and this is the first time that all of
his tales about stick-fighting have been published in one volume.
The stories provide many details about Irish methods of
self-defense used in the 19th century. They also provide keen
insights into the Irish fighting culture and the code of
"Shillelagh Law," which guided the lives of Irish fighting men
throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Three hundred endnotes,
meticulously researched, explain the 19th century Irish and
Hiberno-English terms used by Carleton througout the text.
