If all else fails, I will retreat up the valley of Virginia, plant my flag on the Blue Ridge, rally around the Scotch-Irish (Ulster Scots) of that region and make my last stand for liberty amongst a people who will never submit to British tyranny whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger. George Washington, Valley Forge. "Call this war what you may, only call it not an American rebellion; it is nothing more or less than a Scotch Irish Presbyterian rebellion." Anonymous Hessian officer 1778 Every line of strength in American history is a line colored with Scottish blood. President Woodrow Wilson "For that is the mark of the Scots of all classes: that he stands in an attitude towards the past unthinkable to Englishmen, and remembers and cherishes the memory of his forebears, good or bad; and there burns alive in him a sense of identity with the dead even to the twentieth generation." Robert Louis Steveson ~ Weir of Hermiston, 1894 I know that this is a genealogy forum but most of Campbell's are either Scottish or Ulster Scots and thought I would throw a few interesting quotes out there. If you have any of this sort please send them to me. I know that everything on this list is not genealogical and I like that, by the way I miss Dairmid a lot. Here is my question, looking at the last quote by Steveson, there seems to be a call to my blood, my family ,90 % of it, has been in the Colonies and or the States for 250 - 350 years now, and so there is no direct tie back to Scotland. Yet there is a calling to my blood for which I do not understand, I was wondering if this makes sense to any of you Scots. I have 5 Scottish or Ulster Scots line running through me and as I said there is a calling and a yearning for most of my adult life. Regards, Richard C. Mick

What happened to Dairmid? You said you miss him. I have missed him too. Jean Bunch ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard C.
