Micí Mac Gabhann was a seanchaí and memoirist from the County Donegal Gaeltacht. He is best known for his posthumously published Irish diaspora memoir Rotha Mór an tSaoil (1959). It was dictated to his folklorist son-in law Seán Ó hEochaidh and polished for publication by Proinsias Ó Conluainn. The account won wide praise and was translated into English by Valentin Iremonger as The Hard Road to Klondike (1962).— Wikipedia
