The Louisiana Irish
A very basic, workable introduction to only the most well-known tales of Louisiana Irish history -- at once a bland, surface treatment and at other times much too much information about the multiple and simultaneous marriages and courtships of certain colonial era rogues of Irish extraction. Each chapter addresses a different historical figure or topic, so it doesn't proceed in a chronological way. The author even admits at the end that she has only scraped the surface, but somehow doesn't elicit a desire to learn more about the Louisiana Irish.
