Provides new insight into the early settlers of Prince Edward Island
Brendan O'Grady (1925-2018) was a long-time PEI resident and wrote several articles on Irish immigrants in PEI for the Abegweit Review and other journals. He was a past president of the PEI Celtic Heritage Association and professor emeritus at the University of Prince Edward Island.
"O'Grady's analysis of the patterns of immigration and the course of settlement on Prince Edward Island to be convincing, comprehensive, accurate, and suggestive. His work on the Monaghan Irish has been groundbreaking, and his tracing of the ties between southeastern Ireland and Prince Edward Island was new and enlightening. This book solidifies O'Grady's past work on the role played by Newfoundland and has added material on the earliest, most piecemeal phase of Irish immigration, for which there is no easily discernible pattern." Edward MacDonald, Department of History, University of Prince Edward Island
