SNIPPET: The excellent three-hour documentary,"The Appalachians" aired on Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) in the U.S.A.in August 2005. It told the story of the Scotch-Irish, etc., their history, relationship to the land, to their religion, and to their music. Try "googling" the phrase "The Appalachians" documentary. Perhaps this material is still available. Appalachia is a region of the eastern United States. The mountain system extends from South Quebec, Canada to central Alabama and includes parts of eleven states.

"The Appalachians" was produced by the Sierra Club. Here is a link to their site http://www.sierraclub.org/appalachia/ It was aired on a local PBS station in Tampa, FL back in the spring. I watched it and taped it so I can watch it again as it was such a wonderful series. I have deep family roots in the area going back to the 1700s and it helped to give me a better perspective on how my ancestors lived, etc. I highly recommend it to anyone, even if your roots are not Appalachian - the photography is wonderful.
