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.
