Séamas Cain, in the Preface to “THE MOUNTAINS OF MOURNE,” has dedicated the book to the memory of his own great-great-grandfather, Benjamin Cain. Benjamin Cain, in fascination with the Percé Rock at the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula of Québec, or in fascination with the Mountains of Mourne in County Down, Northern Ireland, “created one or another eidolon of permanence in a very impermanent world”!
