Irish Hands That Shaped America
Description
A broadcaster discovers his own surname’s connection to a pivotal moment in American history — General Charles O’Hara, descendant of the Ó hEadhra clan, surrendered British forces at Yorktown, effectively ending the war. But the story goes deeper: Irishmen shaped the nation’s founding, from brothers fighting on opposite sides who met in a river to the everyday Irish who helped build America. It’s a powerful reminder of how deeply Irish roots run in the U.S., and whether the revolution’s ideals still hold true today.
