Irish Settlers in America
Michael O'Brien
Two volumes, hardback
books totaling
1282 pages.The
books are in excellent condition. Michael J. O'Brien was the
historian and chief contributor to the Journal of the American Irish Historical
Society during its years of publication, 1898-1941. O'Brien's numerous articles
were united by a common objective--to explode the "Scotch-Irish myth," in effect
to demonstrate that the Catholic Irish were more numerous than the Ulster Irish
in the early days of immigration and more prominent in the affairs of state.
O'Brien's collected articles now form a reference work of encyclopedic
proportions--accessible, comprehensive, and convenient--and they touch upon the
entire spectrum of colonial American history. In the 132 articles assembled
here, O'Brien lists no fewer than
25,000
pioneers and settlers, his information deriving from both manuscript and printed
sources. The two-volume consolidation also contains a new preface, a descriptive
table of contents, and indexes.
