Product description...

Stories told after the boats landed . . .

When an immigrant leaves his home and his family and friends gather to say goodbye and when he passed from the sight of those left behind his new life begins and his life in the homeland ends. Our goal in this book is to document the stories that occurred on their long journey to America as well as those from life in the homeland. Many of the stories will provide a glimpse into the Irish-American involvement in family life, organized labor, local politics, and religious practices, as the immigrants became Americans. In many Irish folktales there is often reference made to a “magic circle” in which one finds safety inside that circle. In this book, “Transplanted Shamrocks” we have tried to create our own “Magic Circle” of love, laughter, sadness, strength and memories shared by the Irish-American friends and families, as they became part of the American Midwest. Stories of everyday Irish-Americans have not been told and they deserve a wider audience. This anthology of family stories of the Central Ohio Irish-Americans is a collection of stories that is essentially those of the Irish Immigrant in the Midwest, all Americans whose lives are burnished with their Irish lineage.
