Book Synopsis Ireland and the Americas [3 Volumes] by : James Patrick Byrne
Book excerpt: Aims to broaden the traditional notion of "Irish-American" beyond Boston, New York, and Chicago. Reveals the pervasive Irish influence in everything from the settling of the American West, to the spread of Christianity throughout the hemisphere, to Irish involvement in revolutionary movements from the American colonies to Mexico to South America. Shows the impact of Irish Americans on their homeland, in everything from art and literature informed by the emigrant experience, to efforts by Irish Americans to influence Irish politics.--Publisher description.
