The Irish in New Jersey: Four Centuries of American Life. By Dermot Quinn. (New Brunswick, New Jersey: Rutgers University Press. 2004. Pp. x, 226. $26.95.)
When I first opened The Irish in New Jersey I was a little put off by the first illustration. Depicting New Jersey's first royal governor, Lord Cornbury, in the transvestite costume which he is reported to have favored, that illustration carries the caption, "a perfect personification of New Jersey's in-betweenness." Where I come from, those are fighting words. Fortunately, the worth of a book is no better judged by its first illustration than by its cover. And Professor Quinn's book is more than worth reading to the end.
