Finnigans, Slaters, and Stonepeggers: A History of the Irish in Vermont by Vincent E. Feeney
Finnigans, Slaters, and Stonepeggers: A History of the Irish in Vermont
by Vincent E. Feeney

The first book that peels back the Yankee mythos and examines the surprisingly rich, true story of the Irish in Vermont, from the first steady trickle of colonial pioneers to the flood of famine refugees and onward ... from Fort Ticonderoga to Civil War battlefields to up until the years after World War II: how the Irish arrived, survived, fought, labored, organized, worshipped, played, and managed to prosper ... a surprisingly behind-the-scenes American success story that has never been fully told until now.

Sell your story and yourselves.

(NAI) We can help you make it happen.


We publish many regional and historical books. It's like browsing in a museum book store. Order online. Click on the book cover for more information.
The people are long gone;
perhaps not even the terrain
remains quite the same;
yet we are surrounded
by what happened.
And may, with a little help,
if we allow ourselves,
be able to imagine other times.
