A TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO PERSEVERED,
This review is from: Out of Ireland: The Story of Irish Emigration to America (Hardcover)
This superb folio-size companion to the PBS television special of the same name explores the history and psychology of Irish immigration to the United States. With some 100 duotone photographs, it is an inspiring story of those who survived disease on the "coffin ships" as they attempted to reach our shores. The vivid text brings to life the sagas of Irish entrepreneurs who rose to prominence in politics, agriculture, business, religion and culture. Most importantly it is the story of courageous human beings, people who left everything behind them to search for a better life. And, in so doing, they forged lasting impressions on past and present life in America. Never forgetting "home," they imagined and often lived the American dream. This splendid book speaks volumes to the descendants of the Irish immigrants and to all who have a vision and struggle to make it reality. - Gail Cooke |
