The Forgotten Irish: Irish Emigrant Experiences in America
Damian Shiels
On the eve of the American Civil War, 1.6 million Irish-born people were living in the United States. From that as its starting point, coloured by sadness, the author has crafted the stories of thirty-five Irish families whose lives were emblematic of the nature of the Irish nineteenth-century emigrant experience.
