Until recent years it has been the
misfortune of the Scotch-Irish to have
escaped historical investigation. for
American history has been written
chiefly in New England, whose colonial
Puritans forbade them in their midst.

the Scotch Irish have been pioneers
and men of action They have contrib
uted to America few writers and art
lists. but many generals. politicians and
captains OF industry. In literature
they claim two eminent names. Irving
