"One Irish Summer" by William Eleroy Curtis is a travel book that tells the story of a journey through Ireland long ago, painting a picture of its scenery, customs, and how life was changing for the people there. The author starts by describing the arrival at Queenstown, watching people get off the ship, especially Irish-Americans coming back to visit. He notices how different they look from the locals and thinks about how much life changes when people leave and come back. He talks about how Ireland is getting better because of British rule. This beginning sets the scene for an adventure where the reader gets to see Ireland through the author's eyes, learning about its land and its people.
