Product Description
Synopsis
First published in 1914, "Children of the Dead End" is Patrick MacGill's autobiography. The book starts with an account of his childhood in Ireland at the end of the 19th century, and includes a detailed description of his poverty and hand-to-mouth existence. As an adult, MacGill migrated to Scotland with a number of fellow Irishmen, and the book describes in both a humorous and moving way the life of a navvy in Scotland and England at the beginning of this century. The songs, sayings and life of an itinerant navvy are revealed in this autobiography.
