{"product_id":"irish-philadelphia-images-of-america","title":"Irish Philadelphia (Images of America)","description":"Philadelphia has been a magnet for Irish immigrants and their descendants since the 17th century, and the city wouldn't be what it is today without them.\nThe Irish distinguished themselves in the Revolutionary War with dozens of heroes, such as Wexford-born sailor Commodore John Barry. When refugees from Ireland's Great Famine poured into Philadelphia after 1845, the city changed forever--the thousands of Irish immigrants of the famine generation, after experiencing discrimination from anti-Catholicism and anti-Irish rhetoric, used their religious and cultural traditions to promote their own advancement by constructing a network of schools, Catholic churches, fraternal clubs, and cultural organizations. In Irish Philadelphia, images of their accomplishments and advancements are featured along with vibrant, personal stories of Irish residents.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0738597708\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0738597708.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Seamus P.
