This is "the" basic sourcebook on the Scotch-Irish in North America, a massive compilation (more than 1200 pages) of source records pertaining to the Scots who settled in the north of Ireland and their descendants in America. The book is popularly known as The Scotch-Irish, or The Scot in North Britain, North Ireland and North America This unusual term [Scotch-Irish] refers to those Presbyterian Scots who settled in Ulster (modern-day Northern Ireland) during the seventeenth century. From these 200,000 original settlers, up to 2 million of their descendants eventually reached North America. The Scotch-Irish left Ulster as a result of neo-mercantilist British economic policy in the region, requirements that they pay 10% of their income to the Anglican Church, ongoing friction with their Catholic Irish neighbors, and greater economic opportunity in the New World. The Scotch-Irish settled throughout the North American colonies. Two Volumes in One: Volume I describes in detail the conditions in both Scotland and Ireland at the time of the Scottish migrations to Ireland and America. Chapters include:
