Subject: RE: Origins: Who was Brennan on the Moor?
A pretty good 15 page account of Brennan's life, along with a map and a couple of song versions, is to be found in Stephen Dunford's 'The Irish Highwayman' (Merlin Publishing Co, 2000).
The book includes chapters (with songs) on fifteen highwaymen including James Freeney, Captain Grant, Redmond O'Hanlon and Richard (aka Brave Micheal) Power.
Well worth looking out for
