Description
Charles Carroll of Carrollton is most often remembered as the sole Roman Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. In this study of the Carrolls in Ireland and America, that act vindicates a family's determination to triumph without compromising lineage and faith. Peeling back layer after layer of Carroll family history, Ronald Hoffman shows how the dramatic journey from Irish rebels to successful American revolutionaries shaped and shattered the Carrolls - and then remade them into one of the first families of the Republic.
