Description
"A French-founded frontier village that transformed into a booming nineteenth-century industrial mecca dominated by Germans, the city of St. Louis nonetheless resounds from the influence of Irish immigrants. Both the history and maps of the city are dotted with the enduring legacies of familiar Celts - John Mullanphy, John O'Fallon, Cardinal John J. Glennon - but the true marks of the Irish in St. Louis were made by the common immigrants - those who fled their homeland to settle in the "Kerry Patch" on St. Louis's near northside - and their battle to maintain cultural, ethnographic, and religious roots." "The St. Louis Irish is an enticing history of one nationality clinging to its roots in a melting-pot American city. Both visitor and native St. Louisan, Irish or not, will relish this history of one of St. Louis's most enduring communities."--Jacket.
