Publisher's summary

The Irish brought it all to America

Irish contributions to the American life from corned beef and cabbage to submarines

Typically American:
Moonshine and square dancing
Murphy’s Law and Mickey Finn
McGuffey's readers and good ol‘ Pat and Mike jokes.

These are just a few of the wonderful things that make America the warm-hearted, good-humored, flag-waving country that it has been for 250 years, and they all came from the grand green land of Ireland.

Since Patrick Maguire stepped off the decks of Columbus’ Santa Maria ship in 1492 to drag his dinghy onto the shores of San Salvador, the Irish have had one foot in the muddy black soil and brilliant green grass of Ireland and one on the mountains and lakes and prairies of the Land of the Free.

The Irish and Americans have been indubitably interconnected by heritage, convictions, and spirit since the beginning.
