“If all else fails, I will retreat up the valley of Virginia, plant my flag on the Blue Ridge, rally around the Scots-Irish of that region, and make my last stand for liberty amongst a people who will never submit to British tyranny whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger.”
George Washington, at Valley Forge.
Perhaps the most comprehensive reference every written about the Scotch-Irish is Chalkley’s “Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia: 1745-1800”.
Very much worth the read and an excellent reference on the Scotch-Irish.
Now, you’ve gone beyond the pale, presuming to correct George Washington. He said “Scotch Irish,” get over it, lol.
