Abstract

Factors in the Marriage Choices of Irish-American Catholics on the Dakota Frontier about 98 percent of them entered marriages blessed by the church in which the children were brought up as Catholics, provides evidence to counter the claims of rapid assimilation made by Byron. Clearly, if the South Dakota Irish are typical, this view is wrong. In the last decades of the nineteenth century, Irish Catholics in the rural and small town upper Midwest intermarried with other groups much less frequently than their settlement pattern of small-scattered communities might seem to indicate.
