"Hibernian Chronicle" is my weekly column written for the Irish Echo, the nation’s largest circulation Irish American newspaper. 

The theme of the column is “This Week in Irish and Irish American History.”  Each week I write a story dealing with a person or event in the history of the Irish in Ireland or America.  It seeks to covers every conceivable theme, including nationalism, the labor movement, the military, sports, theater, music, art, literature, politics, and business. 

See the sample of columns below
