    1. A good book about Irish settlers in the South
    2. For those of you with Irish-Scottish ancestors who settled in the South prior to the Civil War and want to know more about the culture of your ancestors, I would like to recommend to you the following book: Cracher Culture, Celtic Ways in the Old South written by Grady McWhiney, Professor of American History, Texas Christian Univ. The Univ. of Alabama Press, Tuscaloosa Al. ISBN 0-8173-0458-4 If you have wondered about the ways of your Celtic ancestors, you will find the answer in this very well written and enjoyable book. It will also explain a lot about the Civil War and the bitterness that existed between the Yankees and the Southerner's. J Pat Smith Denham Springs, LA.
