Notes

Includes bibliographical references (p. [159]-167) and index 1. "These days, family surnames on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island indicate the Irish origins of many of its early European settlers. This is the first academic study on the history of those Irish in the context of the history of the larger Irish diaspora. The author links individual stories to those questions, drawing on private letters and oral histories as well as more conventional sources, and includes many individual migration and settlement stories."--BOOK JACKET Website: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy0715/2007408597.html
