7. Pioneers, Soldiers, and the Irish Frontier Seeking better wages, many immigrants left New York for the frontier. John Colleen moved to Buffalo to work for the railroad, eventually seeing his children become successful lawyers and police captains.

Others, such as Edmund Butler, pursued careers in the U.S. Army, where he notably fought in the Indian Wars and played a pivotal role in the defeat of Crazy Horse in Montana. 7
