Résumé du livre
Irish immigrants and their descendants have had an enormous effect on California, in business, government, religion, philanthropy, and above all in politics, where the Irish gifts for leadership and eloquence have always given them an advantage. Their history is a vital part of the history of California, from 1800 right to the present. This book is a collection of biographies that documents the variety of roles that the Irish have played in the making of California.
