Editorial Review Product Description Marvin R. O'Connell's masterful biography brings to life theexperiences that shaped Ireland's views and describes the battles thatmarked his career.In smooth and flowing prose, with rich detail andenlightening analysis, O'Connell traces Ireland's life, from hisboyhood to his years as a powerful player in Vatican politics and anadvisor to American presidents. Ireland was one of the important and characteristic figures ofthe American Gilded Age, a man whose own rags-to-riches story followedclassic lines.Born in Ireland in 1838, he saw as a boy the horrorsof the Great Famine.In 1852 he and his family emigrated to St. Paul,Minnesota.Sent by pioneer Bishop Joseph Cretin to France for hiseducation, Ireland became a priest in 1861.His work for temperanceand Catholic colonization on Minnesota's western frontier gave himnational prominence and launched him on a long and impressive career. Ireland was an Americanist, one of a group of Catholic leaderswho promoted the ideal of a truly American church.O'Connell'saccounts of Ireland's hard-fought and often acrimonious battlespresent a lively portrait of a complicated man, with impressivestrengths and surprising weaknesses.Ireland struggled to convincethe Vatican that the American church was more than a collection ofimmigrant churches; he argued to his fellow clerics that immigrantscould abandon Old World customs and languages without losing theirfaith; he encouraged Catholics to take advantage of the opportunitiesoffered in America; and he strove to demonstrate to ProtestantAmericans that Catholics were not hopelessly foreign. O'Connell also tells little-known stories of the archbishop'spersonal politics and finances.Ireland became wealthy through landspeculation, but nearly lost all in the Panic of 1893.As a prominentand out-spoken Republican, he associated with William McKinley,Theodore Roosevelt, and William Howard Taft. Though John Ireland was denied the ultimate accolade of acardinal's hat, and though his colleagues on the episcopal bench wereby no means unanimous in supporting him, his influence upon thedevelopment of American Catholicism was enormous.This forthrightbiography is a fascinating account of an important man. |

A Brilliant Book
So much history so close to home At times, one thinks more and deeper connections could have been drawn (such as the resurrection, by twentieth century hunger-strikers, of Brehon Law-era practices like fasting for the redress of grievances) and more discussion fostered on particularly hard-hitting aspects of Ireland's past and present.But this is, after all, a SHORT history, and a remarkable one at that. There is good coverage of Ireland before the arrival of the English, in a way that touches on both historical developments and cultural ones.Likewise, the era of Cromwell and the disastrous run-up to and aftermath of Black 1847 are given good detail.One comes away feeling a bit as though more recent history (say, 1916 and on) has been slighted, but this feeling is probably just the product of years of weighted emphasis on the twentieth century; Ranelagh does well to bring a historical balance to the overall sweep of Ireland's development into what it is today. And what it is today is, for Ranelagh, closely invested as well in the question of what England is and no longer is."A Short History of Ireland" may disturb those who view England as a still-unwelcome visitor into Irish history and culture, but Ranelagh concludes convincingly that the story of Ireland from the 13th century on is intimately related to its evolving relationship with its slightly larger neighbor and one-time persecutor/antagonist.Ranelagh quite usefully and realistically departs from other histories of the Emerald Isle in asserting that the England/Ireland relationship can, for a slew of reasons that he points to, only ever be one of co-dependence. ...

Clans & Families of Ireland
Found Nothing New
good and clear guide to the irish and their origins If I have a complaint, it would be that the significance of thecrest of each clan was not discussed along with the origin and history ofeach clan.If that was included, this book would be 100% perfect, insteadof 95% perfect.
An essential guide to the origins of 200 Irish Families Also included is history of the Irish race in all it's forms, this alone is worth the price of the book as itwill allow anyone to form a clear understanding of Irish history, cuttingaway all the myths and confusions that surround the Irish and theirorigins. This book is an essential read for anyone with Irish ancestry orany one with an interest in Irish History and you will find yourselfdipping into it again and again. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description The story of John Devoy's 1876 Catalpa rescue is a tale of heroism, creativity, and the triumph of independent spirit in pursuit of freedom. The daily log on board the whaling ship Catalpa begins with the typical recount of a crew intact and a spirit unfettered, but such quiet words deceive the truth of the audacious enterprise that came to be known as one of the most important rescues in Irish American history. John Devoy's men rescued six Irish political prisoners from the Australian coast, allowing millions of fellow Irishmen and American-Fenians, many of whom secretly financed the dangerous plot, to draw courage from the newly exiled prisoners. Philip Fennell and Marie King tell the story from John Devoy's own records and the ship's logbooks. John Devoy's Catalpa Expedition includes an introduction by Terry Golway and the personal diaries, letters, and reports from John Devoy and his men. Customer Reviews (1)
