I must congratulate Bill Mulligan on his well-researched, highly informative lecture "From the Emerald Isle to the Copper Island: The Irish in the Michigan Copper Country, 1845-1920". An absolute masterpiece. Well done, Bill. Regards, Riobard. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. It has removed 1388 spam emails to date.

I want to thank Riobard for his kind words about my work. The lecture was the 2006 Ernie O'Malley Memorial Lecture, which I gave at New York University in November 2006. It is about to appear in Radharc, the journal of NYU's Glucksman Ireland House, after some delays. I am not sure if it will be available on line, but can send copies on request. Bill William H.
