Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Blue and the Green: The Irish of Portland, Maine During the Civil War is the compelling second volume in Matthew Jude Barker's series on the Irish experience in Maine. Following his acclaimed book Becoming American, this installment turns to the 1860s, exploring how Portland's Irish community navigated one of the most turbulent periods in American history.As the Civil War erupted, Irish immigrants and their American-born children were faced with a difficult choice-remain on the fringes of society or fight for a country that had not yet fully accepted them. Many enlisted in the Union Army, joining Irish regiments and the famed Irish Brigade, seeking both patriotic purpose and social acceptance. Others contributed from the home front, working in the shipyards, organizing in churches, or sending sons and brothers off to war.Barker draws from military records, newspaper accounts, letters, and parish archives to tell a vivid, human story. He introduces us to Irish soldiers from Portland who fought at Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg, and explores how the trauma and triumph of war shaped the city's Irish neighborhoods, churches, and civic life. We also see the tensions that arose-between nativists and newcomers, between North and South sympathizers, and even within the Irish community itself.This is not just a military history-it is a story of identity, belonging, and transformation. Through war, loss, and resilience, Portland's Irish helped redefine what it meant to be both Irish and American. Their story is one of perseverance and pride, rooted in both 'the Blue' of Union loyalty and 'the Green' of Irish heritage.Rich in detail and narrative power, The Blue and the Green fills a crucial gap in Civil War and Irish-American scholarship, making it a must-read for historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in Maine's multicultural roots. …

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 56 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Shore Digger - A Poetic Journey of Irish Heritage, Boston Grit, and Timeless ResilienceRooted in the rich traditions of Irish heritage and forged in the firehouse halls of Boston, Shore Digger is a deeply personal collection of poetry from Robert Breen - retired Boston firefighter, storyteller, and student of literary legend Seamus Heaney. These poems trace the immigrant journey from Ireland to America, capturing the struggles, sacrifices, and quiet victories of working-class lives.Breen's verses move from the windswept coastlines of Maine to the smoky stairwells of burning buildings, blending historical reflection, personal memory, and lyrical craftsmanship. Shore Digger honors not only the poet's Irish-American roots but also the universal resilience found in hard labor, family rituals, and the enduring spirit of place.With selections previously published in The Harvard Summer Review and recognized in multiple poetry competitions, this collection stands as a testament to the voices of those who dig deep - in the shore mud, in memory, and in the human heart.Perfect for readers of Irish-American history, New England heritage, labor poetry, or those seeking authentic voices of resilience.…
