Books, Maps & Other Resources Ireland & Northern Ireland Genealogy & History More Ireland, Northern Ireland & Irish Resources BOOK - Ulster Emigration to Colonial America 1718-1775 (America: USA & Canada) By R. J. Dickson; new introduction by Graeme Kirkham 
First published in 1966, R. J. Dickson's Ulster Emigration to Colonial America 1718-1775 remains the acknowledged work of scholarship on migration in the eighteenth century of a quarter of a million people from Ulster to the New World. It combines detailed investigation of the economic, social and political background to the exodus with information on the emigrant trade and an analysis of the motivations and origins of the emigrants themselves. This new edition includes a specially written Introduction by Graeme Kirkham, whose researches on both sides of the Atlantic are reflected in an essay which considers recent advances in the understanding of this important mass population movement from Ireland to America. Because the author is addressing the 1718-1775 period, the term "Colonial America" includes all of British North America which today is known as the United States and Canada. Canadian references in the book relate to the Atlantic provinces and Quebec. The bulk of the book details migration to the eastern United States. 320 Pages 5.5 X 8.25" Notes Bibliography Index Originally published 1966 This edition published by Ulster Historical Foundation, Belfast, 2009 ISBN: 978-0-901905-17-8
