5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Your Coffee Table!, October 7, 2000

This review is from: Irish Americans (Immigrant Experience) (Hardcover)

If you are of Irish descent (and are proud of it) and live in America, you should own and proudly dislay a copy of this book. It is a beautiful pictoral presentation of how the Irish immigrated, integrated, and adjusted to life in this country.

By a quirk of fate I can be found in the two page picture of the Murphy family reunion of 1988 on pages 188 and 189.
