Ballykilcline Rising: From Famine Ireland to Immigrant America
Mary Lee Dunn
In 1847, in the third year of Ireland's Great Famine and the thirteenth year of their rent strike against the Crown, hundreds of tenant farmers in Ballykilcline, County Roscommon, were evicted by the Queen's agents and shipped to New York. This book tells their story, using numerous Irish and US sources and with descendants' help.
