Famine book / Whiteboys info?

[Laurie McDonough]

Could anyone direct me to sources of information about the<br>militant group called the Whiteboys, active in Co. Leitrim<br>during the famine (1840's). I have just acquired an excellent <br>book, Leitrim in the Great Famine, by Gerard MacAstasney,<br>when I was recently in Ireland. It mentions one Philip <br>O'Rielly, a leader of a Whiteboys group, who was charged with<br>crimes. I am in touch with the author of the book but I'm <br>hoping there may be other sources which mention Philip O'Rielly.<p>Thanks! Laurie
