In 1888, after eight years of waiting and planning, Matt Donahue
is finally ready to flee Ireland's oppression and journey to
America. He has dreamed of having land of his own and a right to
vote. But since the quota for Irish immigration has been filled,
Matt must travel to Scotland in order to book passage to
America.
On the trip, Matt meets a beautiful young woman named Annie
Rice. They share a brief but unforgettable kiss, and as Marr starts
his journey to America, he is unable to forget he. Once he arrives
in New York City, he begins a correspondence with Annie; as he
works his way from Pennsylvania to Ohio and, finally, to Minnesota,
their love blossoms through the written word.
From an iron ore mine in Tower, Minnesota, Matt joins a gold
rush to Rainy Lake City and eventually buys a parcel of land
outside the small village of Koochiching, Minnesota. Finally with
the new home to call his own, he returns to Ireland hoping Annie
will marry him. But is she already married? Will she move to
America against her mother's wishes?
Based on atrue story and filled with vivid historical details,
"A Bit of Irish Gold" beautifully captures the immigrant
experience.
