The Tobacco Fields of Meath

While researching a family tree, Nevin came across papers detailing the growing of tobacco at Randlestown House outside Navan Co. Meath, which was the family seat of Sir Nugent Everard. Nevin compiled the documents to produce The Tobacco Fields of Meath which details the difficulties and challenges faced by Sir Nugent and the estate's under-steward, Liam's grandfather John Nevin, in their tobacco experiment. The book also mentions the history of tobacco-growing in Ireland and country life in the early 20th century.
