520    "The hard work of nineteenth-century Irish immigrants in 
       Waterbury helped place the city on the map as the Brass 
       Capital of the World. In the early years of immigration, 
       Irish Catholics held Mass in secret, but eventually 
       beautiful churches were built, attracting the most revered
       clergy in Connecticut. Soon Irish and Irish Americans 
       established themselves as city leaders and professionals 
       in the community. Dr. Charles A. Monagan was a founding 
       member of St. Mary's Hospital, while his son John later 
       became mayor. Some achieved fame through their excellence 
       in sports, such as Roger Connor, who held a long-standing 
       record for career home runs until it was broken by Babe 
       Ruth. Detailed research and oral histories from living 
       descendants bring to light the remarkable Waterbury Irish 
       legacy" -- Publisher's description.
