Mike Carney was born on the Great Blasket Island in 1920 in that
unique, isolated Irish-speaking community. Mike left in 1937 to
seek a better future in Dublin and eventually settled in
Springfield, Massachusetts, with other former islanders. The death
on the island of his younger brother set off a chain of events that
led to its evacuation, in which Mike played a pivotal role. This is
the story of his life and his efforts to promote Irish culture in
America, to preserve the memory of The Great Blasket, to respect
roots left behind and to set down roots in a new land. Written as
Mike approached the age of 93, this memoir is probably the last of
a long line of books written by Blasket Islanders. * Similar to: An
Irish Navvy - the Diary of an Exile and The Hard Road to Klondike
