The Last of the Corbes or the MacMahons' Country: A Legend Connected with Irish History in 1641 is a historical fiction novel written by John Wright and published in 1835. The story is set in Ireland during the 17th century and follows the MacMahon family, who are the last of the Corbes, a group of hereditary keepers of the ancient Irish law. The novel is based on historical events that occurred during the Irish Rebellion of 1641, which was a violent uprising against English rule in Ireland. The MacMahons are caught in the middle of the conflict and must fight to protect their land and way of life. The story is told through the eyes of the MacMahon family, particularly the young hero, Hugh MacMahon, who is determined to defend his family and their traditions. Along the way, he encounters various characters, including English soldiers, Irish rebels, and members of his own clan. The novel explores themes of loyalty, tradition, and identity, as the MacMahons struggle to hold onto their way of life in the face of outside forces. It also touches on the larger political and social issues of the time, such as the tension between the Irish and English, and the role of religion in the conflict. Overall, The Last of the Corbes or the MacMahons' Country is a captivating and historically rich novel that offers a glimpse into a turbulent period in Irish history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
