The people with no name : Ireland's Ulster Scots, America's Scots Irish, and the creation of a British Atlantic world, 1689-1764
More than 100,000 Ulster Presbyterians of Scottish origin migrated to the American colonies in the six decades prior to the American Revolution. This book uncovers the ways in which migrants from Ulster - and thousands like them - forged new identities and how they conceived the wider transatlantic community.
