A good read, but probably a little white washing of some of the more negative aspects of the Scots-Irish. There is another book which I can't remember the name of about the Scottish Enlightenment and its affect on the founding of this country which I would consider a must read.

Negatives?
My Quaker grandmother had an ancestor who was hung for stealing a horse in New England.
I never sugar-coat anything -
Was it The Cousin's War?
