Description
From the shadows of Brian Boru's throne to the streets of New York, the McGraths have left their mark on history. The King's Cousins traces a thousand years of adventure, rebellion, and resilience, following a clan of warriors, poets, and leaders through Ireland's battles, castles, and bardic traditions. From the very first McGrath to the twenty-first century, Irish and Irish-American history is explored from the perspective of one sprawling family born from a lineage of kings and historians. Witness Miler McGrath, the controversial bishop navigating faith and politics; Patrick McGrath, a fiery rebel in the 1798 uprising; and Joseph McGrath, a revolutionary turned statesman and entrepreneur. Follow the clan across the seas during the Great Famine to America, Canada, and Australia, where McGraths became soldiers, firefighters, and civic leaders. Blending dramatic storytelling with meticulous research, this book reveals the courage, cunning, and artistry of a family whose legacy spans continents and centuries. The King's Cousins is more than history. It's a thrilling journey into the heart of one of Ireland's most storied clans.
