The End of Hidden Ireland: Rebellion, Famine, and Emigration Book

Many thousands of Irish peasants fled from the country in the terrible famine winter of 1847-48, following the road to the ports and the Liverpool ferries to make the dangerous passage across the Atlantic. The human toll of "Black '47," the worst year of the famine, is notorious, but the lives of the emigrants themselves have remained largely hidden, untold because of their previous obscurity and deep poverty. In The End of Hidden Ireland, Robert Scally brings their lives to light. Hailed as a distinguished work of social history, this book is a tale of adventure and human survival, one that does justice to a tragic generation with sympathy but without sentiment.Read More
