Description

Local author and folklorist Michael Joseph Murphy tells two stories about smuggling goods across the border in South Armagh and close shaves with the police.

Michael Joseph Murphy was born in Liverpool, England, in 1913. Michael spent his early years in England and at the age of eight his family returned to Armagh. Murphy joined The Folklore Commission in December 1941 and went on to record one of the largest collection of oral tradition in the English-speaking world.
