“Another book on the subject was written by our (ahem) present crapola senator from VA, Jim Webb.”
Largely cribbed by Webb from David Hackett Fischer’s book ‘Albion’s Seed’.

Despite Webb's politics, his book, Born Fighting: How the Scots-Irish Shaped America, was excellent. It truly documents my own line of Scots-Irish from my direct ancestor Robert the Bruce, to My GGGG Grandfather who was a wagoneer under George Washington during the French Indian War, and who fought at Kings Mountain.

Webb’s Born Fighting is a fine book. It’s based heavily on David Hackett Fischer’s book which I’d rate a bit higher.
A lot of Scotch Irish in my line as well. Some of them fought in militia actions on the road to that great victory at King’s Mountain.
