About the book:
The first wave of Scotch-Irish people settled in Appalachia, following the Appalachian Mountains from southern New York to northern Mississippi. It includes West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia (1).
By 1775, over 200,000 men and women from Ulster counties had migrated to North America's colonies. Almost half were indentured servants, and the majority were Presbyterians of Scottish ancestry. When they arrived, they were known as Irish -how they saw themselves - and later labeled "Scotch-Irish (2)."
Today, over 23 million people live in the Appalachian region; about one-half of the region's population is rural, compared with 20 percent of the national population (1).
