The History of Kerry Patch neighborhood in St. Louis

Kerry Patch was the name of an Irish neighborhood that sprang up in the 1840s in St. Louis. A listener whose grandparents had grown up there requested this episode, so Sue called on Patrick Murphy, author of "The Irish in St. Louis...from Shanty to Lace Curtain" to talk about it. Murphy's grandparents were also residents, and he's got some great stories to tell! Kerry Patch was around until after World War I and had its own "king"! Patrickmurphyauthor.com for more info.
