What is recorded here
William McAdoo is a birthplace in Ramelton, County Donegal, Ireland. Perhaps the boy ran barefoot through wet grass before crossing the Atlantic to become an American politician. Maybe he remembered the smell of rain on stone long after he forgot the shape of the room. Imagine a life begun in a small house, then stretched across oceans and power, yet still anchored in that first breath of Donegal air.
Why this person is known: American politician (1853–1930)
