%X This is an historical account of the demise of transhumance in nineteenth-century Donegal, and subsequent changes in diet from dairy products and oats to potatoes, Indian meal (cornmeal), and tea. The [n]gombeenman[/n], or shopkeeper-money lender, facilitated a societal change from self-sufficient herders to dependent peasants. The rise of cooperatives in the following century broke the hold [n]gombeenmen[/n] had over rural farmers.
