- A Search For Irish America

Bag om Looking for Jimmy

In this stunning work chronicling the author¿s exploration of his own past¿and the lives of many hundreds of thousands of nameless immigrants who struggled alongside his own ancestors¿Peter Quinn paints a brilliant new portrait of the Irish-American men and women whose evolving culture and values continue to play such a central role in all of our identities as Americans.
