As chairman of the Tyrone GAA County Board Committee, it gives me great pleasure to write a few words by way of welcoming this excellent pictorial and poetic publication to commemorate the visit of the Sam Maguire cup to the historic county of Tyrone.

I congratulate the authors Frank Quinn and Kathleen Burns on completion of a truly unique piece of work which brought them to every corner of County Tyrone to bring to life our National Heritage and uncover some of Tyrone's hidden jewels .

Readers, young and old will truly enjoy this journey.

Compilation of such a comprehensive gallery of photographs and anecdotal material involved a significant amount of time and travel by the authors .

Frank and Kathleen are to be commended for their professionalism and research in bringing to life our heritage for the benefit of current and future generations .

This book will also be of immense benefit to tourists visiting Tyrone.
