Vincent E. Feeney’s new book, Finnigans, Slaters, and Stonepeggers: A History of the Irish in Vermont, is 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 the Revolutionary War to World War II, Feeney tells how the Irish arrived, fought, labored, played and managed to prosper. This behind-the-scenes story will captivate any reader. Join us for a night of history and Irish background and leave with a signed copy of this major new work.
