  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is a fort in William Fitzgerald's land and I have a story about it. One day he went out cutting sticks and that night he dreamt of his father, and he telling him, never to cut another bush. The next day came and the same thing happened, and third night came and he dreamt of his father again. His father told him that if he cut another bush he would not know what would happen him. So from that day to this, he will allow no one to cut a bush.
