O'Connor The often difficult but always fascinating and colorful experience of Boston Catholics is recounted in this lively history of the Archdiocese of Boston. He follows the Church - s rise from a minority sect despised by the Puritans, through its tentative acceptance after the Revolution, to its quashing again by the resurgent ``nativism'' of the 1840s and '50s, when tens of thousands of Irish fled the Potato Famine by teeming onto Boston - s shores.  Price: $16.95 The Encyclopedia of the Irish in America  by Nathan Glazier, Daniel Patrick Moynihan A detailed reference work chronicling the effects of Irish immigration on the American story begins with the mass emigration of the 1840s and traces the many contributions made by Irish-Americans over the next century and a half.  Price: $89.95 The Great Famine and the Irish Diaspora in America  by Arthur Gribben, Ruth-Ann M. Harris (Introduction)  A fascinating collection of essays that reveals, often in unexpected ways, the effects of the Irish famine on both sides of the Atlantic, from Chef Alex Soyer's famine soup to the famine graves at Grosse Ile, from Irish memory to Irish American rage.

This volume is a must-have for any library serving youth.  Price: $24.95 The Famine Ships : The Irish Exodus to America  by Edward Laxton For Mr. Laxton, a journalist of Irish descent, compiling the chronicles of horrific shipwrecks, unlikely rescue dramas and the specifications of the emigrant ships was obviously a labour of love. A splendid book, written in a fresh and accessible way, which will grip anyone with the most superficial interest in the Famine years.  Price: $12.80 Ireland and the American Emigration, 1850-1900 by Arnold Schrier Price: $14.95 The Irish Catholic Diaspora in America  by Lawrence John McCaffrey McCaffrey has been the pioneering social historian of the American Irish.
