The continent of North America was known to the ancient Celtic clans as Gall, where the bitter man went. Meet some possible ancestors of Kennewick Man. Feel the excitement of the ice dam breaking to form the Columbia River or the horror as crop land disappeared under water and formed the Gulf of Mexico. Horses were forbidden; who brought them? Find out how they made bubble boats and teepees. They fought the elements, the buff alo, and the shave-head warriors. Learn about the destruction of the mound cities resulting in the formation of the treaty land. Celtic clans came from all over to settle here. Join them in these short tales. JILL WHALEN is a graduate of Millikin University and a member of Mensa. She writes the family folk tales from her home in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks.

The Carolingian period represented a Golden Age for the abbey of St Gall, an Alpine monastery in modern-day Switzerland. Its bloom of intellectual activity resulted in an impressive number of scholarly texts being copied into often beautifully written manuscripts, many of which survive in the abbey's library to this day. Among these books are several of Irish origin, while others contain works of learning originally written in Ireland. This study explores the practicalities of the spread of this Irish scholarship to St Gall and the reception it received once there. In doing so, this book for the first time investigates a part of the network of knowledge that fed this important Carolingian centre of learning with scholarship. By focusing on scholarly works from Ireland, this study also sheds light on the contribution of the Irish to the Carolingian revival of learning. Historians have often assumed a special relationship between Ireland and the abbey of St Gall, which was built on the grave of the Irish saint Gallus. This book scrutinises this notion of a special connection. The result is a new viewpoint on the spread and reception of Irish learning in the Carolingian period.
