Summary: A must read for Irish-Americans in Philadelphia
Comment: I had this book recommended to me by someone in one of my genealogical mailing list.

I highly recommend it.

Rating: 4
Summary: Great book on the forgotten Irish-Americans
Comment: This was a very informative book about how the Irish in Philadelphia affected the city, and how the old establishment of the city was able to keep the Philadlephia Irish from gaining the same political power as those from New York and Boston. It is not a very easy read, due to the fact that it contains many facts and figures, but is nonetheless a very informative work about the forgotten Irish-Americans of Philadelphia, and why they were forgotten.

Rating: 5
Summary: A great contribution to the history of our people
Comment: The thing I most liked most about this book was that the author went into detail about the conditions of life in Ireland for these people. Whether they came before the famine or after, these folks didn't just get off the boat and become Americans. They brought with them a rich culture and way of life. If you are Irish and from Philadelphia, this book will mean something to you.
