As farmers and laborers, policemen and politicians, maids and seamstresses, their hard work helped to build the state. Wherever they settled, the Irish founded churches and community organizations, became active in politics, and held St. Patrick's Day parades, inviting all Minnesotans to become a little bit Irish. Author Ann Regan examines the history of these surprising contradictions, telling the diverse stories of the Irish in Minnesota.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAuthor information\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnn Regan\u003c\/strong\u003e is the editor-in-chief of the Minnesota Historical Society Press.\u003c\/p\u003e           \u003chr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThis title is also available at your favorite e-book vendor.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e100 pages\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e6 x 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eISBN: 9780873514194\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MNHS PRESS \/ INGRAM","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39593105227956,"sku":"772","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0260\/6261\/8702\/products\/REGAN_9780873514194.jpg?v=1618343715","url":"https:\/\/mnhs-shop-test.myshopify.com\/products\/irish-minnesota","provider":"mnhs_shop_test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
