NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A book in the best tradition of popular history—the untold story of Ireland's role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe. • The perfect St. Patrick's Day gift! Every year millions of Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but they may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars"—and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians. In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization -- copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost—they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated. In the tradition of Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, How The Irish Saved Civilization reconstructs an era that few know about but which is central to understanding our past and our cultural heritage. But it conveys its knowledge with a winking wit that aptly captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunched civilization.

Excerpt from The Advance-Guard of Western Civilization The substance of the present volume was given to the public in a course of lectures which the writer delivered before the Lowell Institute, of Boston, in the winter of 1887-88. Those lectures are here amplified and enlarged into what is intended to be a full narrative of an episode which is, perhaps, the most unique and remarkable in American history. The narrative is the result of eight years' careful study of early events in the Southwest, nearly four of which years were passed upon the ground where the events occurred, and it is the writer's sincere conviction that it may be accepted as authentic history. To make sure that it should be authentic, the proof-sheets of the volume have been submitted for revision and correction to the Hon. John M. Lea, President of the Tennessee Historical Society, the Rev. Dr. John Berrien Lindsley, late Chancellor of the University of Nashville, and the Hon. Randall M. Ewing - three gentlemen who are undoubtedly better acquainted with the early history of the Southwest than any others now living.

Excerpt from The Romance of Western History, or Sketches of History, Life, and Manners, in the West In the following volumes, therefore, nothing further is attempted than a collection of facts, some of which are the result Of the writer's own observation, and all of which are intended rather as examples and illustrations of topics connected with the Western States, than as a regular narrative of its history. They are not presented in any connected series, nor with any embellishment of style, but are placed before the reader under the most unambitious form consistent with convenience of arrange ment and propriety of expression. This is not said to disarm criticism - an author has no right to interpose himself between the critic and his duty, either to secure his clemency or resent his decision - we intend simply to explain to the reader the unpretending character of the work, in order that its title may not awaken expec tions which it is not calculated to satisfy.
