This book looks at the many sides of the charismatic Brian Clough's character and examines the various milestones; the premature end to his playing career, his partnership with Peter Taylor, the failure to land the England Manager's job, and his retirement. Drawing on his own personal memories and those of the people and players (including Clough's son Nigel) who have worked with and around Clough, this book offers an up-to-date perspective on Clough's roller-coaster career, up to, and including, his resignation from Nottingham Forest.

The sweet smell of licorice and the giant candy bar painted on the factory wall at the Eads Bridge remain locked into the collective memory of generations of St. Louisans. Candymen: The History of Switzers Licorice tells the story of how two Irish-American families began a candy company in the kitchen of a tenement in St. Louis' Irish slum and showed the world how the American Dream can be built upon a foundation of candy. In a story that passes through three generations, two World Wars, economic depressions, and labor unrest, the Murphys and the Switzers dedicated their lives to keeping the dream alive until it was put to an end by forces beyond their control. And yet, in an unlikely turn of events, the story continues today with a fresh twist and a renewed life of its own.

It took a long time before St. Louis finally accepted its Irish population. When the first waves of Famine Irish arrived on the landing in the 1840s, the city was appalled by their poverty. As subsequent waves of Irish fled political oppression after the Civil War, anti-Catholic sentiment sparked bloody riots in which the Irish gave as good as they got. But after seven centuries of enslavement in their own country, nothing would stop them from creating a place in their adopted city. The story of their assimilation is as multifaceted as the Irish character itself. From Shanty to Lace Curtain introduces us to a range of St. Louis Irish, from priests like Timothy Dempsey and Charles Dismas Clark (the “Hoodlum Priest”) to gangsters from the Bottoms Gang and Egan’s Rats. We meet artists and revolutionaries, entrepreneurs, and entertainers. It takes us to the rough and tumble neighborhoods of 19th-century Kerry Patch and Dogtown, where immigrants and their children forged paths into the city’s mainstream while preserving their Irish identity. We visit contemporary Irish St. Louis, where Irish dance and music thrive. At McGurk’s Pub and the Pat Connolly Tavern we discover what makes an Irish pub truly Irish. We also learn the behind-the-scenes story of why St. Louis has two St. Patrick Day Parades. Local author and artist Patrick Murphy uses photos, interviews, and photos to compile this comprehensive collection dedicated to the Irish immigrants who helped make St. Louis what it is today.

The Irish in St. Louis

From the grand basilicas of Missouri's big cities to small churches in every corner of the state, the stories of generations of Catholics immigrants are set in stone. Built as places to ask for blessings and pray for survival in a foreign land, these churches endure today as monuments to the struggles and the faith of those new Americans and their descendants.Places to Pray takes readers to Catholic churches, shrines, convents, and monasteries throughout Missouri. Author Patrick Murphy tells their stories and captures their beauty in a rich collection of photographs.Readers will explore the architectural marvels of the cathedrals of St. Louis and Kansas City and visit neighborhood parishes that proudly hold on to the ethnic flavors of their founders. There's a story of a shrine built from thousands of stones by a monk who died at his task. Cloistered sisters committed to lives of prayer and silence open their doors to us, and monks in a Trappist monastery in the Ozarks show off their world-famous fruitcakes. Churches range from European, African, and Hispanic parishes to a congregation in southwest Missouri that holds the largest annual gathering of Vietnamese pilgrims in the world.In addition to visiting holy sites, the book offers chapters on a range of topics unique to Catholicism, which are often misunderstood, even by Catholics. They include the veneration of Mary and the saints, the Rosary, holy relics, Stations of the Cross, Imaginative Prayer, Eucharistic Adoration, the Infant of Prague, and miracles.The Catholic Church has long understood the importance of creating places where people may remove themselves from the common distractions of the world to contemplate the infinite, the eternal, and the mysterious. Places to Pray is intended for readers of all faiths and walks of life who are tempted to venture into some of these places to experience realms beyond those offered by daily life.

No single event in the history of St. Louis shines as brightly as the 1904 World's Fair. Forest Park was transformed into a magnificent Ivory City of immense palaces and dramatic vistas. Cascades and fountains splashed and bubbled. Giant engines hummed, powering a million electric lights turning night into magic. Twenty million visitors passed through its gates to witness wonderous displays of the technological achievements of humankind.In this spectacular coffee-table volume, Patrick Murphy takes us beyond the mere sights and sounds of the fair, to wander into the minds of those who attended. His stories are those of an earlier generation as they stood on the brink of a new century, hoping that the future would bring endless blessings. Murphy helps us appreciate how the fair was a product of its time both in noble aspirations and base prejudices; exhibits featuring flying machines, automobiles, enormous turbines, and wireless telegraphy stood beside display villages exhibiting indigenous people from around the world as if they were in a zoo.Murphy's storytelling puts us smack dab in the middle of the Fair, amid its sights, sounds, and smells. We're part of the crowd. If the past is a different country, Prelude to a Century is the perfect traveler's guide to a monumental event that continues to resonate with history lovers.
