Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

The following pages attempt for the first time a syste matic treatment of the beginning of a migration of settlers of Scotch and English descent from the north of Ireland to the New World.

Parker, Perry, Green, Hanna and other writers have collected much of general history and tradi tion; and they have so pictured the Scotch traits developed under Irish skies, that Scotch Irish blood, once a reproach, is now cause for pride.

But the conditions in Ireland be fore the migration, the voyage across the ocean, the emi grants as they appeared to early observers these phases of the story have now for the first time been treated in detail, drawing upon hitherto unexplored sources.

If a large part of our American population traces back to Ulster, the early religious, political and economic life of the valleys of the Foyle and the Bann should interest many, for many, whether they are aware of it or not, are descended from the Scotch Irish.

Clergymen and statesmen have from genera tion to generation extolled the rugged virtues of these pioneers, and a closer study of their lives will, it is hoped, deepen the hold which they already have upon our affec tions.

There has been a constant temptation to include in this study some account of emigrants from the west of Scot land; they had very much in common with their Ulster friends and kinsmen.

But however desirable a wide scope may be, it has been my purpose here to include only those who were influenced by the peculiar environment of a life upon Irish soil.
