Sailed Away and Survived - Clare Ann Conway

This is a collection of stories about the Irish in the I800's.
The ancestors in this book came from every county in Ireland,
the North and the South.
These are stories of the farmers, merchants, orphans, criminals,
miners, railroad workers and many others, written by their direct
descendants. Stories past down, told and retold so the children
would know their heritage. Many success stories and some failures,
where the Irish gave up and went back home.
These are the stories of hard working Irish men and women, that came
from nothing, worked and make sure their children went on to have
a better live, to become teachers, lawyers and prominent and respected
politicians, and even Prime Ministers of other countries.
These stories should be read and be told and not allowed to die off.
History should know of these fine hardworking Irish.
These are the stories of the IRISH!
