Description
The Irish have always been a travelling people. Since 1800 an estimated 10 million people have left the Irish shores, and today more than 80 million people claim Irish descent. In the centuries after the fall of Rome, Irish missionaries carried the word of Christianity throughout Europe, while soldiers and meriners from across the land ventured overseas in all directions.
In this inimitable fashion, Turtle Bunbury explores the lives of those men and women, great and otherwise, whose journeys- whether driven by faith, a desire for survival- have left their mark on the wider world.
