North Arkansas too. This mf'er really should try Scotch-Irish Crackers from these areas.
Those AR Scotch-Irish crackers are part of the App S/I crackers.
They went from the mountains of PA right on down the ridges and the end of the line is, amazingly, east Texas.
I read a wonderful article about the ‘migration’ written by a linguist who was researching the bloodlines and language similarities.
You are, therefore, my distant kith and kin.

I had an east Texan call here asking about trike kits one day and his first words were “Please pardon my accent”.
I said “What accent?”
He sounded just like home.
