From the Dust Jacket: "It's been estimated that seven million Irish immigrants have come to the United States since its birth. The vast majority came after the Great Famine in search of a dream or simply to survive. As their descendents, we now yearn to know all that we can about these Celtic pilgrims. We may have discovered a birth date, a marriage record, or the place where they lived, but little more. We are left to imagine what rituals and routines filled their lives each day -- their dreams and desires, their fears and foibles, their sins and celebrations. THE VIEW FROM SHANTY POND opens a door to that forgotten world. Touch your Irish past. Come visit your ancestors in Shanty Pond.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine condition./Very Good+ dust jacket.. 8vo. xviii, 222pp..
