The author of the best-selling Encyclopedia of Jewish Humor presents the choicest of Irish poetry and limericks, older jokes and new jokes, anecdotes, and words of wisdom just as they have come down to us through the ages. Spalding, a renowned expert on ethnic humor, has not neglected the Irish-American, and in these pages we meet him working in the Erie Canal, the railroads and in the mines, and as he achieves high political office in the office of the U.S. Yes, they are all here: loving, fighting, drinking, praying, struggling, and laughing.
