THIS MONTH,
We've chosen Jim Thorpe,
Pennsylvania as our focus. March is the month of Saint Patrick's Day
and we
felt that while many cities and towns can boast a
rich Irish heritage, none reflects more perfectly the total Irish story
in America. Please follow the links below into the pubs of and some
of the history of Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania and the Irish families which
settled
there in search of those American Freedoms we all hold so dear.
