Fox News
George Taylor of Ireland arrived in America as an indentured laborer at a Pennsylvania iron furnace. He became one of three men born in Ireland to sign the Declaration of Independence.
"The Irish were already committed to American independence." "He worked his way up from furnace filler, to clerk, then manager as the owner became aware of his education and aptitudes." "We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." The Declaration of Independence "helped to inspire countless movements for independence, self-determination and revolution after 1776." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
He shoveled coal into a blast furnace, melting the abundant ore of the Lehigh Valley into pig and cast iron – later into musket and cannon shot, an arsenal of independence.
