This book provides a comprehensive account of the history of two prominent Irish-American organizations, the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick and the Hibernian Society, from their inception in 1771 to 1892. The Friendly Sons of St. Patrick was founded in Philadelphia in 1771 as a society for Irish immigrants to celebrate their heritage and promote the welfare of Irish-Americans.

Campbell, provides a detailed and well-researched account of the history of these organizations, drawing on primary sources such as meeting minutes, correspondence, and newspaper articles.
