- Summary:
- Colin Calloway offers an intricate portrait of the early American settlers who came to be known as Scotch-Irish - from their origins on borderlands on one side of the Atlantic to their crucial part in conquering borderlands on the other. 'Hard neighbors', as they were called, the Scotch-Irish were the tip of the spear of white colonial expansion into Indian lands, earning a reputation first as Indian killers and then as embodiments of the American pioneer spirit.
