'Ev'ry Irishman prepares himself to one day shake hands with Doom.
Sudden death ain't no stranger to the Irish poor. Pap's day came
January first, Eighteen-hundred an' twelve, my birthday, I'll be
thankin' ye very much. I'll tell ye how it happened, 'though it
pains me now as much as ever.' A quote of Hughie O'Neill in The
Path To Glory: A Common Thread. ----------- Steve Mallon has
written a compelling historic novel as big as the disparity between
Old World and New. His sweeping story begins with hopeless
prejudice and ends with two men locked in the brutal, life and
death struggle for freedom. The Path To Glory: A Common Thread is
thoroughly researched and historically accurate. A boy becomes a
man when he travels an emotional journey and realizes his own place
in the vulgarity of man's inhumanity toward his fellow men on the
Florida frontier. This example of pure storytelling takes place
just following the transfer of Florida's verdant territory from the
weakening Spanish Crown to American's hungry for land at any cost.
The transfer treaty guaranteed citizenship to all occupants -
unless they were Negro or Seminole Indian. And now the saga of Hugh
O'Neill, Florida frontiersman, begins with his new life in a new,
but violent world; as violent as his dear sweet Ireland, the world
he fled to escape and sorrowfully left behind. This is a story with
building action and adventure on every page. An epic portrayal of a
new breed of American who must survive against all odds.
