The Scotch-Irish: A Social History | 
pickA great account of a disputed, confusingly named 18th c, immigrant wave from Ireland (by way of 17th c. Scotland). I read this alongside the more recent “The People of No Name“ by P. Griffin and the more recent again “Race, Politics and Irish America“ by M. Burke to get a balanced picture of a group about which far too much twaddle's been written! Start with this though as Leyburn is from 1962 so is cited by books on the topic that come after
