[ "It was at The Harrow the Boys of Wexford,
Showed Bookey's regiment how men could fight"]
There is a little stream about two hundred yards from The Harrow and it was there the first battle of 1798 was fought. At this river Bookey and Donovan were killed. The stream has been called Bookey's Stream ever since.Michael Parle,
