Most of the servents who came to the New World with
the Pilgrims and Puritans were Irish and Scots-Irish, yet their names
were not recorded for posterity. The Irish snuck into Boston by the
hundreds in the 1600s and by the thousands in the early 1700s. The
famed Boston Massacre was really an Irish Masscre, since most who
participated on both sides were Irish. The greatest American privateersman
was Irish, and many of Washington's generals were Irish, as were a
high percentage of his troops. If you're of Irish blood, this is the
book for you! |
