Sinners, Saints and Settlers: A Journey Through Irish Australia by Richard Reid and Brendon Kelson

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

From the arrival of the First Fleet to the present. Irish immigrants and their descendants have been at the centre of Australian life. Sinners, Saints & Settlers takes the reader on a journey through the Irish experience in Australia. It seeks out places across the nation that tell the stories of Irish lawyers, farmers, publicans, and many others, and how central their stories are to any sense of what Australia was and is. The echoes of that Irish presence are everywhere - in a city street, a distant lighthouse on a rocky cape, a railway museum or in the stained-glass windows of a country church. (back cover)
