Last ofthe San Patricios Synopsis

     In 1879, Irish-born rogues, Sean Mulcahy and Michael Lonergan, arrive in Monterey, California, where their past catches up with them and threatens their futures.
     Two of the last surviving members of the St. Patrick’s Battalion, better known as the San Patricios, they had served as part of an elite artillery unit in the Mexican Army during the Mexican-American War, made up of Irish and Catholic deserters from the American Army.
     After the war, Sean and Michael wander through Northern Mexico and the American West, looking after and taking care of one another. One day, they come across a Chinese family, shot dead on the dunes south of the Carmel River, and an eight year old girl, for some reason, left alive. They take the Chinese girl to Monterey, where they become mixed up in the politics, prejudice, and people of the rapidly evolving town.

In poetry or prose, the San Patricios,
The last remaining Wild Geese chose
To make our final stand,
Fallen brothers close at hand,
We, last of all the San Patricios.
