O'Connor's life was both a triumph and a tragedy. He pulled himself up from impoverished famine torn Ireland to become a master of his profession, inspired and inspiring to others. By his own energy, probity, vision and application, it could be written of him at his death that "no engineer had dome more than he for an individual colony" (back cover)
