*Austin Stack's copy with his signature in each volume in Irish, 'Aibhistin de Staic,' and with his wife's visiting card laid in. Austin Stack (1880 -1829), from Tralee, was a founder member of the Irish Volunteers and a commandant during the Easter Rising. He was sent to meet Roger Casement at Banna Strand, but failed to make contact and was arrested. He was a minister in the first Dail, rejected the Treaty and was jailed during the Civil War. His health was damaged by a hunger strike in 1923, and died in 1929.
