I have just finished "Albion's Seed; Four Brithish Forkways in America" by David Fisher. About a fourth of the book looks at the imigration from the Borderlands of North Britian in 1717-1775 to the backcountry of the US. He compares the value systems and living patterns from the Scots, English, and Northern Ireland boarders people with their experience in the US. It made sense to me and was fun to read. -- Andrew Crawford, 2785 IOE Dept., University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 734 764-9410, Ascott Corp 734 663-2023 http://ascott.com/
