Captains and the Kings

When Joseph Armagh first saw America in the early 1850s, he was a twelve-year-old Irish immigrant--a penniless orphan cast upon a hostile shore to make a home for himself.

Years later, in his palatial estate, he looked back on his long, rich life. He was now a multimillionaire, one of the world's most powerful and feared men... a man who was determined to make his handsome eldest son the first Catholic President of the United States.
