What is recorded here
John Casey is a birthplace in Coolattin, County Limerick, Ireland. Perhaps the geometer born there in 1820 first measured the world through the shape of that townland. Maybe his mind grew sharp because the land gave him angles to see. Imagine a boy walking local roads and learning that distance is not the same as truth.
Why this person is known: Irish geometer (1820–1891)
