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.
