John McCormack had often told people of his early life, of a poor Irish-born immigrant father who died young, leaving John the oldest son (at age thirteen) to care for his Irish-born mother and two younger siblings.
But John McCormack could not acknowledge their presence, for to do so would indicate that the altered life history which had made it possible for him to ascend the heights of Irish Boston was false.
