Who Were Those Celts?

Who Were Those Celts?
The German-French-Swiss-Italian-Scottish-Welsh-English-Irish-American Connection
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About the Celts
From 1000 B.C. to the Present.
by Kevin Duffy
Paperback, 250 pages

This concise 3,000-year history of the Celts is packed with facts
never before assembled together in a single volume. Much of this
information cannot be found even in previous books written about the
Celts. While of obvious interest to the forty-million Americans of
Irish ancestry, it will also fascinate many who identify with the
Scottish, the Welsh and the English. Britain was once a Celtic island
and, along with Scotland and Wales, is still part Celtic.

Readers may choose to read the book straight through or just browse
among its varied and intriguing topics. The author drew from sources
that include archaeological discoveries, medieval monastic writings
and classical Greek literature. Delve into the legends and folklore
concerning King Arthur, Stonehenge and Saint Patrick. Lift the veil of
mystery which surrounds the Druids and their religion. Celebrate the
Celtic contribution to the world of art, such as the famous Book of
Kells or the Tara Brooch. Discover the Celtic-language origins of many
of our English words. Learn about modern men of Celtic ancestry who
have influenced American history.

With its succinct style and a minimum of jargon, this work is intended
to appeal to a general readership. Its original presentation and the
gems it contains make it a timeless reference work, different from any
other book ever published on the Celts.
The author is a native Irishman who read anthropology at Cambridge
University in England.
