What was the experience of Irish immigrants when they arrived in Pennsylvania’s anthracite coal fields in the 19th century?

This is the central theme in my podcast discussion with historians/podcasters Fin Dwyer and Damian Shiels on their show, “Transatlantic: An Irish American History Podcast.”

Take a listen and explore the stories of the Irish in the Coal Region in the 19th century, as well as a discussion of where you can dig deeper into these stories through books, museums, and historic sites. If you enjoy their show and its content, be sure to subscribe for more!
