Items From The Bluegrass

Evelyn Sinclair Tierney's weekly newspaper columns form a casual history of the Irish community of Melrose, Iowa and the surrounding area -- the people, the places, the memories, and the friendships. This nostalgic collection includes tales of grandmothers and grandchildren, old dogs and new tricks, Easter bonnets, train engines, ghostly houses, community growth and change, old friends gone and new ones found, war heroes and everyday men and women.
