What is recorded here
Pierce Butler is a birthplace in County Carlow, Ireland. Perhaps a boy ran through green fields before crossing the Atlantic to help build a new nation. Maybe his young hands touched rough Irish stone before he ever held American power. Imagine the distance between a small birthplace and a founding father, wide as an ocean and deep as memory.
Why this person is known: United States Founding Father, from South Carolina
