It was the last of May in the north of England, in the year 1209. A very different England from what any boy of to-day has seen. A chilly east wind was blowing. The trees of the vast forests were all in leaf but the ash trees, and they were unfolding their buds. And along a bridle-path a few miles southwest of York a lad of fourteen was riding, while behind him followed a handsome deerhound. A boy of fourteen, at that age of the world, was an older and more important personage than he is to-day.

When Mr. O'Callaghan died, after a long, severe, and expensive sickness, he left to his widow a state of unlimited poverty and seven boys. "Sure, an' sivin's the parfect number," she said through her tears as she looked round on her flock; "and Tim was the bist man as iver lived, may the saints presarve him an' rist him from his dreadful pains!"

The Widow O'Callaghan's Boys is a heartwarming novel by Gulielma Zollinger that tells the story of a courageous Irish widow, Mrs. O'Callaghan, who takes in several orphaned boys and raises them as her own.

She provides them with a home, food, and love, and teaches them the values of hard work, honesty, and kindness.

The boys develop a strong bond with each other and with their adoptive mother, and they become known in the village as ""Mrs. O'Callaghan's Boys."" The novel is a heartwarming tale of love, family, and the power of community, set against the backdrop of rural Ireland in the late 1800s. Overall, The Widow O'Callaghan's Boys is a touching and uplifting novel that celebrates the strength of the human spirit and the power of love and kindness. It is a must-read for anyone who enjoys heartwarming stories about family, community, and the resilience of the human spirit.After a little further talk between the two General Brady said: ""There is another matter I wish to mention. Mrs. O'Callaghan has set her heart on having Pat graduate from the public school. He could do so easily in another year, but with his strong mercantile bent, and taking into consideration the struggle his mother is obliged to make to keep him there, I don't think it best. For, while Pat supports himself, he can do nothing to help at home. I ask you to give him one evening out a week, Mr. Farnham, and I will direct his reading on that evening. If I can bring him up and keep him abreast of the times, and prevent him from getting into mischief, he'll do.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
