Book Synopsis
Describes Irish settlement in Prince Edward Island from 1763 to 1880. By tracing the history of these early settlers, this book dispels the myth that the Island's Irish settlers were largely refugees from the Great Potato Famine. It enables readers to learn about settlers' hometowns in Ireland.

Trade Review
"O'Grady's analysis of the patterns of immigration and the course of settlement on Prince Edward Island to be convincing, comprehensive, accurate, and suggestive. His work on the Monaghan Irish has been groundbreaking, and his tracing of the ties between southeastern Ireland and Prince Edward Island was new and enlightening. This book solidifies O'Grady's past work on the role played by Newfoundland and has added material on the earliest, most piecemeal phase of Irish immigration, for which there is no easily discernible pattern." Edward MacDonald, Department of History, University of Prince Edward Island
