AUBURN — Local historian and author John Henderson will present his new book “Na Eireannach Na Androscoggin: The Irish of the Androscoggin” at 2 p.m. Thursday, June 16, in the Androscoggin Community Room at the Auburn Public Library.

His newest book dives deeper into the story of the Irish in the Twin Cities than his previous work and has been expanded to cover Lisbon, Minot, Poland, Wales, Leeds and Greene.

New topics include Irish women, newspapers, John F. Murphy homes, theater, the military and more. The new book also presents 10 boldly colorful plates of Lewiston and Auburn architecture closely associated with the Irish and created by the author himself.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase.

The event is free and open to the public.
