Capturing O'Neill: Dedication pages of books on Irish traditional music, signed by Capt. Francis O'Neill

Ancient Order of the Hibernians

Provenance:
Though this copy of O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1903) is neither signed by the author nor dedicated to a recipient, the provenance of the book is interesting.  It came to this project courtesy of the Department of Special Collections, University of St. Thomas (MN) Libraries.  Ann M. Kenne, Head of the Special Collections there, writes, "This volume has been a part of the Celtic Collection since ca. 1917 when it was acquired as part of a gift from the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Minnesota.  A note inscribed in the book indicates it was purchased for $5.00 from Wolfe Tone (a bookstore perhaps?) on May 3, 1917."
