    Yes. I looked at the online sample and it looked pretty good. Since my Facebook community voted that I write about immigrants in Richmond, this looks like it will be helpful.

    I’m going to get Gleeson’s new book on Kindle when it comes out next week. When i first saw the title i worried that it was another one of these books promoting the notion that the Confederacy had some sort of “Celtic” character. Since there were fewer than 200,000 Irish immigrants living in the South during the war and 15% were in New Orleans, that always seemed silly to me.

      I’ve only skimmed it, but I think you are safe given that it is a UNC book.
