Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Songs of the Irish Revolution and Songs of the Newer Ireland Ego Americanus sum. None will accuse me of being otherwise with impunity. A long and honorable record of service on both sides of the family, beneath the Stars and Stripes of America, has been the standard set for me to follow. It was given to me to contribute my mite towards upholding my forebears in the greatest of world wars and even yet I wear the uniform of the United States Navy, and am mighty proud to do so! Ego Americanus sum, for it seems that when one is inclined to be partial towards the Irish question (as my personal experiences in Ireland must make me partial), a holy howl goes up to Heaven and one is rated as a suspect. The world is learning to view the Irish question from a more sympathetic standpoint, but the days these verses deal with, are those when the idea of an Irish Republic was not quite so popular! It is now some eleven years since I first set my foot in Erin. Eight years I spent in the land of my forefathers and they were growing and garnering years. It was to Parliamentary Ireland that I came, but it was Republican Ireland that I left. The Newer Ireland was in embryo, and I witnessed its birth and early infancy. Sligo in the picturesque Northwest was where I spent the earlier years of my sojourn in Erin, but in time, the pursuit of learning led me to Dublin, where I became a student at University College, Dublin - constituent college of the National University of Ireland.
