From their earliest arrival in America 350 years ago, the Scots-Irish left a lasting legacy. The history of the United States is interwoven with outstanding personalities from the Scots-Irish diaspora and the distinctive characteristics of a people who pushed the frontiers to new horizons.
This comprehensive study of the Scots-Irish in America by Northern Ireland autor Billy Kennedy has created a much greater awareness of the accomplishments and the durability of the hardy settlers and their families who moved to the New World during the 18th century and created a civilization out of a wilderness.
This is Billy Kennedy's ninth book on the Scots Irish.
