Defying the Partition of Ulster: Colonel John George Vaughan Hart and the Unionist Experience of the Irish Revolution in East Donegal, c.1919–1944
View through CrossRef
Colonel John George Vaughan Hart resided in his large ancestral home of Kildery (Muff, Co. Donegal) during the partition of Ireland. This chapter highlights the experiences of a Southern Unionist who found himself on the wrong side of the border and explores the possible reasons as to why the Colonel decided to move a few miles, to Londonderry, to a simpler home. The chapter draws primarily on Hart’s carbon copy letter books which have been deposited at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland. The seventy letter books comprise a small part of a much larger Hart family collection.
