- Summary:
-
A meticulously researched journey of genealogy and Irish / Australian history from ancient Gaelic Kings forward to a poor rural clan, subservient to English planters, who emigrated to Australia during the Great Irish Famine. It charts the lives of emigrant siblings as they marry into other Irish clans and work as mounted troopers, gold diggers, selectors, publicans and gamblers before joining The Great Klondike Stampede in Canada all before Federation. Colonial born children endured tragedy, two World Wars and romance which are poignantly chronicled as they contribute to the building of Australia. Another generation joined secret societies to prevent the Communist takeover of the Australian Labor market. Original stories never told before.
