Does anyone have a book to recommend on the history and people of the Long
Cane region starting in the colonial period (e.g., 1750's when Patrick
Calhoun and company first showed up)?
Thanks,

Hi Vicki,
I have read the following books recently that have had a mix of historical
and genealogical information, and I found them very interesting and relatively
helpful:
1) Scotch-Irish Migration to South Carolina, 1772 (Rev William Martin and His
Five Shiploads of Settlers), by Jean Stephenson
2) Scots-Irish in the Carolinas, by Billy Kennedy (good genealogy info)
3) The Scotch Irish; A Social History, by James G. Leyburn (Helped me
understand the psychology and cultural influence of my Scot-Irish ancestors, and the
patterns of immigration)
