The records reveal astounding details concerning the shape and longevity of the catastrophe. In 1841, the population of Leitrim was 155,000; 10 years later, it had declined by 40,000. These revelations are as comprehensive as they are compelling, given that MacAtasney's findings are contained within the most detailed account of the famine at a local level yet to be written.
