Excerpt from The Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society, 1898, Vol. 1 Whether this omission springs from carelessness, ignorance, indif ference, or design, is now of little moment. The fact that such a condition does exist makes it imperative that it Should be remedied not only in the interest of historical truth, but of racial fair play.
