The Old Irish of New England by Robert Ellis Cahill - Paperback History

"Most of the servants who came to the New World with the Pilgrims and Puritans were Irish and Scots-Irish, yet their names were not recorded for posterity. The Irish snuck into Boston by the hundreds in the 1600s and by the thousands in the early 1700s. The famed Boston Massacre was really an Irish Massacre, since most who participated on both sides were Irish. The greatest American privateersman was Irish, and many of Washington's generals were Irish, as were a high percentage of his troops. If you're of Irish blood, this is the book for you!"
