The Irish in St. Louis: From Shanty to Lace Curtain by Patrick Murphy early st. louis history For member pricingWe visit contemporary Irish St. Louis, where Irish dance and music thrive. At McGurks Pub and the Pat Connolly Tavern we discover what makes an Irish pub truly Irish. We also learn the behind the scenes story of why St. Louis has two St. Patrick Day Parades. Local author and artist Patrick Murphy uses photos, interviews, and photos to compile this comprehensive collection dedicated to the Irish immigrants who helped make St. Louis what it is today.
