Excerpt from The Lost Tribes Nathan P. Dann does not come into this story. He died before any of the things which I have to record happened. And he' died, as he had lived, in New York, while the scene of the story is a small village in County Galway. It is, however, necessary to write down a few words about Nathan P. Dann. He was by birth and descent an Irishman. Very early in life, at about the age of nineteen, he left Ireland and went to America. There he prospered and became very rich. This is an important fact. If Nathan P. Dann had not left a large fortune, his widow could not have done or attempted the things she did.
