Mici MacGowan's stirring account of his life as a migrant worker and exile in America at the turn of the century has become a classic tale of the Irish diaspora. His twenty-year tramp through North America brought to Gaelic literature a different sensibility - that of the common man. It gave a direct account in everyday Irish of the post-famine experience of displacement and emigration.
