Don't let the parade pass you by, and the parade will be even more enjoyable once you've read this book! This makes a great gift for every Irish person in your life, and it chronicles THE PARADE of all parades-Peachy Deegan remembers what a smaller deal the parade was in Cork when she lived there-there is nothing like the St. Patrick's Day parade in New York. By John T. Ridge and edited by Lyn Mosher Bushnell, Celebrating 250 Years of the New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade is a beautiful chronicle of one of our most favorite days of the year!

The gorgeous old pictures and interesting old maps and far-reaching history predate even the birth of America...the advertisements from over 100 years ago are really entertaining as well as the lithographs.  Even Mayor O'Koch  hamming for the crowd is included on page 35.  The counties are coming-and all 32 of them each hold a place in our heart-Peachy has been to more counties in Ireland than she has states in America.  What we don't understand is why it took until 1989 to have a female Grand Marshall.  The 1964 photo of teenagers painting the green stripe on Fifth Avenue is priceless.  Take a look at page 75 dated 3-17-13: in this case it means 1913 so take a look 100 years back!  A true celebration of history and pride, this is now a prized work in our collection of Irish history, and it should be in yours as well!
