{"product_id":"irish-st-louis-mo-images-of-america","title":"Irish St. Louis (MO) (Images of America)","description":"It's quite unlikely that Pierre Laclede and Auguste Chouteau could have comprehended the scope of their undertaking in 1764 when they laid out the settlement on the western banks of the Mississippi that was to become the metropolis of St. Louis. Founded by the French, governed by the Spanish, and heavily populated by the English and Germans, the role that the Irish had in making St. Louis what it is today is often overlooked. The Irish are steeped in tradition, and that trait did not leave the Irish immigrants when they arrived in St. Louis and called this place home. Like many other cities in America, the heritage of Ireland is alive and well in St. Louis. This book visually captures their Irish spirit, and portrays a few of the Irish \"movers and shakers\" alongside the \"Irish commoner\" in their new and challenging lives here in St. Louis.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0738532223\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0738532223.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lossos, David A.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
