AIL) An Irish Legacy, by Linda L. Doherty, AILpageNumber, St. Anthony Parish Council; This is a valuable resource, but it led me astray several times (I was not fooled, however, when it told me that a hornpipe is a musical instrument.) CC) Casper Centennial by Irving Garbutt and Chuck Morrison Curtis Media Corporation, (214) 651-1025 K) The Story of Kilcrohane, a history of the town and the Sheepshead Peninsula. It will be of interest to many. 10 punts, 3 punts surface mail, 8 punts airmail from his nephew Frank O'Mahony, Kilcrohane, Bantry, Cork. Recommended. D) The Diary of Frank O'Mahoney, Casper, Wyoming 1906-7 Edited by Frank Mahony, son of the diarist. B) Birth Record O) Obituary M) Marriage Record N) Naturalization Record E) www.EllisIslandRecords.org WW) Women of Wyoming by Mrs. Alfred H. (Cora M.)

Two American-born journalists, Donald and Mary Grant, from St. Louis settled as small farmers near Ahakista, and wrote White Goats and Black Bees about their experiences. Mizen Books, Schull, Cork, Ireland. Recommended.
An Irish film, The War of the Buttons, is set and photographed around Skibbereen in a mythical pair of twin towns. The children of the two towns enjoy a violent rivalry. The story is at times amusing and appealing, at times unsettling, but the scenery is lovely and what our parents left behind them. What a change for them: From lovely, green Ireland to the brown Wyoming prairies. Casper Mountain and the Big Horns must have been a comfort.
Unsinkable by Daniel Allen Butler: Titanic
Titanic Voices by Hyslop, Forsyth, Jemima: Titanic
Great Ocean Liners (The Hayday of Luxury Travel)
50 Famous Liners and Fifty Famous Liners 2 by Frank O. Braynard & William H. Miller
Ocean Steamers by John Adams
The Great Liners by Melvin Maddocks
The Amateur Immigrant by Robert Louis Stevenson
Paddy's Lament by Thomas Gallagher: The Famine
The Great Irish Potato Famine by James S. Donnelly, Jr (published 2001) Highly recommended. Great pictures.
Wherever Green is Worn : The Story of the Irish Diaspora by Tim Pat Coogan is an encyclopedic story of Irish emigration throughout the world. Some other Works by Mr. Coogan: Biographies of Michael Collins and de Valera, a history of the IRA, and the story of the protests in the Maze prison.
Coming to America : Immigrants from the British Isles by Shirley Blumenthal & Jerome S. Ozer makes it clear that early arrivers were not welcomed. When they sought jobs they were greeted with NINA (No Irish Need Apply). And they learned the political process: In 1845 they were being naturalized as soon as they stepped off the boat so they could vote for Irish that had arrived before them.
Thomas Flanagan's marvelous trilogy: The Year of the French (it's 1798 and Wolfe Tone has convinced the French to join him in an invasion of Ireland); The Tenants of Time (takes us from the failed Fenian Rising of 1867 to the fall and death of Parnell); The End of the Hunt (it's soon after the 1916 rising: war against the British, freedom, civil war, and freedom lie ahead).
Brian Friel's play, Translations, set in 1833, tells the story of an ambitious British project to map Ireland and to provide English translations. The process does not go smoothly! Here we learn how Sciol became Schull. Everything Brian Friel writes is pure gold.
Postal Directory of Munster This is a listing of the towns and citizens of the province, Munster, which includes counties Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, and Waterford. The issue that I have seen (and have some photocopies of) is dated 1886. It was compiled, printed, and published by Francis Guy, 70 Patrick Street, Cork City. I found both grandfathers. Henry Arundel is listed as a vintner (he owned a pub). The term is still in use today (look at an Irish phone book). William Ward is listed as the owner of a China and Glass Warehouse (a shop). The Class System is apparent: Some categories are Gentry and Clergy, Principal Farmers, Principal Residents. Most of those listed are male, and many, I'm sure, are not listed. Mines (copper) are listed. An interesting browse!
Northside of the Mizzen by Patrick McCarthy and Richard Hawkes. Subtitled: Tales, Customs & History from the South-west of County Cork in Ireland This book is about the other side of Dunmanus Bay.
The Coast of West Cork by Peter Somerville-Large. Mr. Somerville-Large is related to Edith Somerville of Somerville-Ross fame. I've never been very fond of their very British view of Ireland and the Irish, but this book is interesting.
Muintirvarra near Bantry Bay by James Coakley. The Southern Star, May 14, 1960. A great read! Natrona County, Wyoming Cemetery Records in three volumes Published by Natrona County Genealogical Society 1986, 1988, 1990
Ireland A Wyoming Perspective a video published by KTWO during Mike Sullivan's Ambassadorship (out of print). It is interesting as a whole, but I call your attention to the section on the Dunbrody, a replica of a famine era sailing ship. There is a scene showing the width of steerage packed with people. Find a friend who has a copy of this video!
Riverside by Miriam Poe Ryan is an historical novel about Marcus Daly, Irish immigrant and founder of Anaconda Copper. Miriam is a former Casperite and 1943 graduate of NCHS.
Irish taken into Slavery
Testimony of an Irish Slave Girl a novel by Kate McCafferty. From the preface: Between the reign of Elizabeth I (1558 –1603) and the restoration of the monarchy with Charles II in 1660, an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 Irish men women and children were shipped to Barbados as indentured servants.
Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters (Palgrave Press) by Professor Robert Davis will be published in 2003.
The Barbary Slaves by Stephen Clissold (Totowa NJ, 1977).
Baltimore's internet page on the Sack of Baltimore (and a link to the poem): http://www.baltimore-ireland.com/heritage/sack.html
On the internet, try a Google search for 'all the words' Algiers Ireland Baltimore. I found several of interest among the first 30 candidates. The misses include travel agencies and business in Baltimore named Algiers. (A bit like naming a New York City tavern The 9-11.)

http://www.GreatOceanLiners.net http://www.JeanieJohnston.com http://www.focuskerry.com/james/jeannie.html http://www.dunbrody.com/ http://www.iol.ie/~jfktrust/dunbrody.htm -for the 11-15-1918 wreck of Campania: http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/institutes/sims/Adu/wrecks/sites/54.html or do a search for ocean liner, using Google or another search engine. I can't guarantee that any link will be operational.
