Chronicling Ulster's role in US history News Letter journalist and author BILLY KENNEDY looks forward to yet another trek to America on his I'm off to Boston this weekend to work on an American History Channel documentary on the Scots-Irish Presbyterian immigrants from Ulster who settled on the American frontier in the 18th century. In an invitation that has been extended by the History Channel producers as a result of the impact my nine books on the Scots-Irish have had in the United States over the past decade, I am honored to be the only non-American taking part in the two-hour programmed. No doubt my Ulster accent should at least give the show some authenticity and I am being asked to provide a detailed background to the movement of the immigrants from the Old World to the New World and speak about some of their remarkable achievements, including the fact that no fewer than 17 American Presidents can trace their roots back to this diaspora, who originally moved from lowland Scotland in the 17th century. The producers have also asked me to speak on the centuries-old tradition of making moonshine (poteen or illicit whiskey), which became the money-making preserve of the Scots-Irish backcountry farmers in the 18th and 19th centuries and resulted in the famous Whiskey Rebellion of 1794 in Pennsylvania, which caused problems for the first American President George Washington. Not being a tippler of the hard stuff myself, I can only relate what my research in Ulster and America has uncovered on this mountain practice. I have often been offered jars of the stuff on my travels into the heavily forested Appalachian backcountry, but always politely declined the generous hospitality. The working title of the History Channel show is Appalachia: America's First Frontier and producer Jenette Restivo, of Moore-Huntley Productions, confirms it will segment a wide range of the lives and times of the hardy Scots-Irish, who were among the first white Americans and who created a civilisation out of a barren wilderness. Among the American contributors to the documentary will be United States Republican senator and former governor of Tennessee Lamar Alexander, who can trace his Alexander and Rankin family roots back to Londonderry, and US Democratic senator from Virginia James Webb, who is also from a Scots-Irish background and the author of the best-selling 2004 book Born Fighting: How the Scots-Irish Shaped America. The producers have also lined up several American historians for interview, as well as a reputed "moonshiner" from the Maggie Valley district in Western North Carolina, and a spokesman for the highly lucrative NASCAR sport, which was founded in the Southern states by Scots-Irish "Good Ole Boys" during the prohibition years of the 1920s and 1930s. The trailer for the documentary explains vividly and colourfully the psyche of these unique people who left Ulster in such large numbers to escape religious persecution and deprivation and to stake for land, freedom and democracy in the New World. "The southern Appalachian mountains, America's first frontier! "It was these rugged hills and valleys that absorbed waves of tough, restless Scots-Irish immigrants in the 1700s, chewed them up with a series of epic tests of survival, and spat out a true-blue American original; the mountain people, aka mountaineers, Appies, Arkies, Okies, rednecks or as they're often labelled, hillbillies. "Fiercely independent and resourceful, these strangers in a strange land produced a new American culture, they created their own armies, alcohol, music, religious faiths and their own sport; the now fabulously popular and multi-million dollar stock car racing (the NASCAR). In fact, without them, there would be no United States of America at all! "Their contributions from the very heart of our national identity: rabble-rousing, freedom-loving, God-fearing people willing to die for a just cause or defend their way of life. They are the heart and soul of working-class America," runs the trailer. Certainly, this trailer accurately capsules a dogged determined people, who were undeterred by the enormous dangers that they faced on the American frontier. Jenette Rostivo adds: "The documentary, now being finalised, will cover the 17th century Ulster Plantation, the 18th century movement to America by essentially the Presbyterian people, the history up to and including the Revolutionary War, western frontier migration (to territories like Tennessee, Kentucky, the Shenandoah Valley, south-western Virginia and Western North Carolina), religion, music, the development of the railroad to Appalachia, coal mining, moonshine, stock car racing and stereotypes." History Channel programmes are extremely popular on both sides of the Atlantic and this documentary will be screened to millions of people around the world in the autumn. Filming has already taken place in Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia and West Virginia and my contribution, which I am privileged to make, will cover all day Saturday. Now that one of our members is gone (which I did not read all of this bickering) maybe someone can look for the show when it does come on and if they would please let me know at cviescas@uia.net. This whole last couple of days has really gotten me upset and I am not involved at all. Why must people include so many other people when they do not agree. I would appreciate knowing when the show may come on. I am not sure if I will post the information if I find it after all of this upset. If anyone wants to argue with me please take it off of the site. Chris Viescas

Nancy, I did google it before I ever asked for clarification. I simply couldn't find the listing and wondered where this listing could be found. I am my mother's sole caregiver and I'm not able to stay up half the night waiting for a program to show. If I'd been able to find the listing, along with the correct time for the East Coast, I'd have been able to set the VCR to record and gone to bed. And in asking for clarification, I've been talked down to, I've been called hateful, rude and tacky, I've been treated like an internet troll. All I was asking for was clarification. This is the reason why I don't post to this list. I read the postings for anyone who is researching my line --- Abigail Alexander, her husband Francis Bradley and her descendants and ancestors, both in Mecklenburg County and parts beyond. I've read some of what came up when I googled and you're right, it was fascinating. God bless.

Martha I am so sorry that you have to have people telling you were wrong.. I understand you wanting to speak your thoughts and I was getting updates from the history channel about this so I was not wrong but I too was very disappointed that it did not show. A lot of times they have the wrong program listed and that is what I thought. Fellow listers please forgive me.

I simply couldn't find the listing and wondered where this listing could be found. I am my mother's sole caregiver and I'm not able to stay up half the night waiting for a program to show. If I'd been able to find the listing, along with the correct time for the East Coast, I'd have been able to set the VCR to record and gone to bed. And in asking for clarification, I've been talked down to, I've been called hateful, rude and tacky, I've been treated like an internet troll. All I was asking for was clarification. This is the reason why I don't post to this list. I read the postings for anyone who is researching my line --- Abigail Alexander, her husband Francis Bradley and her descendants and ancestors, both in Mecklenburg County and parts beyond. I've read some of what came up when I googled and you're right, it was fascinating. God bless.

Way to go, Martha. If you all put Ulster Scotland into google you'll get lots of interesting info.

Martha, Please forgive for my mistaking your gender, but the MBRAD looked male to me and for some reason you didn't have your name at the bottom of your emails. I'm not going to get into a matter of semantics here on the board with you. However, I do stand by what I said in my previous post. I still feel that the way you stated your questions were on the offense as if you thought Edna didn't know what she was talking about. The questions were stated in what my southern lady grandmother would have called "hateful/tacky and rude". I was raised to treat others the way I wish to be treated. I personally was offended by the way you wrote to Edna "Ma'am, it will be one in the morning my time, but I will see. And if it is not on, please apologize." What in the name of all things Alexander did she have to apologize for? Telling us that she'd read about a program that was scheduled to be on yesterday? Something she thought we might all find interesting? Is that a crime? Is she in charge of and responsible for network programming? I think not!! In the words of my students, Martha, "you were over the top!" You then went on to say, "I don't cry wolf, either. I looked on both the History Channel and History International listings. No listings for any program like the one described. Ma'am, if it starts at 12 AM and ends at 12 AM on a different day, it means that the History Channel has devoted an entire day to this. (different time zones) That's not what the schedule on the website says. Nor is it listed on either A&E, History International or the Military History Channel. Which History Channel are you speaking of? It isn't showing up in ANY listing." Was it necessary to post each of your emails twice? Assuming that you were frustrated by not being able to find the aforementioned post, that's understandable, but as you told Sandi, maybe you need to step back and think about how your messages appeared to us out here. Edna was doing us a favor letting us know about a television special that was of interest to us as Alexander descendants. I think we can all know how local television schedules or email the History Channel without getting personal on the person giving the information. As my grandfather said.. "Don't shoot the messenger just because you don't like the message (or you don't understand it in this case!)" BTW the History Channel's web addy is _www.history.com_ (http://www.history.com) . I use it in my class daily. All I'm asking is that in the future you're kinder and nicer to those on the board. Obviously, others weren't happy with your posts either. Please send your messages once only and askquestions in a pleasant non-judgmental conversational way. We're here to find our history and our ancestors would expect us to treat one another with respect. I'm trying to be as respectful as I can with this. I'll close by saying that.. If we all showed kindness in thought, word (verbal and printed) and deed the world would be a better place because we were in it. Night all.. Cindy In a message dated 8/27/2007 12:06:12 A.M.

Sandi, It wasn't the time that was the problem. It was the fact that the program was neither listed, nor was it shown. It wouldn't matter what time zone you're in or what country you happen to be in. If it isn't on, it isn't on. I asked for clarification because it wasn't listed in any way, shape or form on the History Channel or its sister channels. I was told by Edna that she doesn't cry wolf. Neither did I. I simply asked for verification, since it couldn't be found in any listing. You know, you might want to step back a bit and allow others to ask questions when information is posted. There was nothing rude, tacky, wrong or hateful about asking for verification.

I'm not even stateside right now but I hope the person being so rude is aware all of us are on different schedules in different time zones and just because a time is posted for Edna's area, it might not be applicable or the same for another. Also, programming is dictated by stations in different areas. One area may not elect to show a certain program.

Cindy, I'm the one who questioned the posting about that program, a posting that made no sense, a posting that in fact was erroneous. And it wasn't wrong, nor was it hateful, tacky, rude or anything else to question the information, especially since it couldn't be verified either by title or by listing. It was simply a question about the information posted as something that had been received from the History Channel about a program that was supposedly being shown that night. And I'm not a he, I'm a she. And I don't apologize for questions I ask when the information given as fact can't be verified. In Edna's words, I don't cry wolf.

I agree with Wilbur. One person in particular was extremely hateful/tacky to Edna. That behavior was totally uncalled for. All she was doing was alerting us to the documentary on the land of our forebears. I don't think those who came before us would have approved of his haughty attitude. I shall say no more.. he knows who he is.. and those of us who followed the thread know of whom I speak. Thank you,, Edna, for letting us know. Wish I still had cable!! If any of you tape it or burn it to DVD, I'd be willing to pay for it!! Blessings for a great week ahead.

I hope this clarifies the information of the documentary. Like any television show there are always a chance or re-editing, renaming, and moving of the showtime. I hope in the future some of the group realizes that an individual is not responsible for misinformation from the Television stations and the media information they put out.

September 23: 8 -10 p.m. EST. The History Channel presents: HILLBILLY: THE REAL STORY. Hosted by actor and country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus, this two- hour special brings America's mythic and misunderstood southern mountain people to life and reveal their pivotal but little known role in forming the nation and forging the American character. Ever since they first arrived in the southern mountains 300 years ago, the hillfolk of Appalachia have been seen as a group apart, often mocked and misunderstood. The show includes a segment on the largest civil insurrection since the Civil War -- the Battle for Blair Mountain in the violent West Virginia coalfields in 1921, when a self-proclaimed Redneck Army of 10,000 coal miners fought for their right to organize.

I believe Sept. 23 is when the Ken Burns' World War II epic begins. The change is probably to compete with this show.
