(1888) Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Robert Ledger and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Ireland Under Coercion: The Diary of an American" by William Henry Hurlbert is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work recounts the observations and reflections of an American visiting Ireland during a tumultuous period marked by tenant evictions, landlord-tenant conflicts, and the broader social and political implications of coercive measures taken by British authorities.

The opening of the diary introduces readers to the tense atmosphere surrounding the impending eviction of a tenant on the Glenbehy estate, revealing the intricate dynamics between tenants, landlords, and the authorities.
