Focusing on the evolution of New York's Irish Catholics, the narrative spans from the British military evacuation in 1783 to the tenure of the city’s first Catholic mayor a century later. It illustrates how the Irish community transitioned from being marginalized to gaining acceptance, emphasizing their integration without losing their cultural identity. Dan Milner uniquely incorporates song texts alongside historical reports to enrich the understanding of this struggle, highlighting the significance of music in reflecting the community's beliefs and experiences during this transformative period.
