Overview
Irish contributions to Minnesota history have been many. The first Irish settlement in Minnesota took root in Jessenland in the 1850s. A generation later, between 1876 and 1881, Archbishop John Ireland undertook a mammoth Catholic colonization program that brought thousands of Irish families to farms in southwestern Minnesota. In St. Paul, F. Scott Fitzgerald became the golden boy of the jazz age he created, and oil-rich Ignatius Aloysius O'Shaughnessy is remembered for his philanthropy.Book Details
