One of the greatest success stories ever told unfolds in the pages of this compelling; three-dimensional book. Through intimate letters; journals; and diaries of actual immigrants; Journey of Hope chronicles the Irish in America and their triumphant rise from adversity and prejudice to prosperity and prominence. Interactive fold-outs; pockets; and envelopes hold a myriad of facsimile documents that bring the Irish immigration experience vividly to life. Unfold the eviction notice that forced desperate Irish peasants from their homes--and to foreign shores. Read a father's farewell poem to the emigrating son he would never see again. Or study the letter of a proud Union soldier as he describes the brave deeds of his Irish-American regiment. From start to finish; Journey of Hope tells a fascinating story not soon to be forgotten.

JEB through the eyes of his staff...By Charles C. DiVincenti Jr.An excellent compilation of observations of various members of James Ewell Brown's staff officers. Insights of the war and of their commander give the reader a true "you are there" approach.Trout's framing sequences offer a nice chronology; along with many helpful maps. I read this after having first read some general biographies of Genl Stuart. Well done; indeed.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Excellent ResourceBy R. Wayne JonesThis is an excellent resource book for getting some little known information on General Stuart. The letters and comments about him from staff members show a different side of him and one that is seldom seen.
