Reviews

A handsome, weighty tome that boasts contributions from the cream of Irish history specialists. Irish Echo A landmark work for Irish-American scholarship. Irish Literary Supplement This reading should be compulsory... [for those] who would like to view New York City's history from a different but most significant angle. New-York Genealogical and Biographical Record This Bayor and Meagher collection repays slow, careful reading, from beginning to end, notes and all. The notes and references are excellent.
