The book delves into the migration of over 100,000 Ulster Presbyterians of Scottish descent to the American colonies before the American Revolution, marking a significant movement from the British Isles. Utilizing extensive archival research, it examines how these individuals, often labeled as "Scotch-Irish," adapted to profound religious, economic, and cultural shifts. Patrick Griffin's clear prose reveals how these migrants forged new identities and contributed to the formation of a broader transatlantic community, highlighting their unique experiences in both the Old and New Worlds.
