Items related to Hard Times, Hard Men: Maine and the Irish, 1830-1860
Synopsis
This is the story of Maine's pre-Civil War Irish immigrants, who came to Maine in large numbers from 1832 to the mid-fifties. They built Maine's railroads and provided the raw labor for a period of rapid growth and industrialization in the late forties and early fifities. Not everyone welcomed them, and this resulted in one of the most violent periods of rioting and anti-Catholic hysteria in the state's history. They would survive to become a major political and social force in Maine.
