Podcast Appalachia: "The Scots-Irish"

The latest episode of Podcast Appalachia is now available! In this episode, I look at the Scots-Irish and their contributions to Appalachia and America. Are you or any of your relatives from the Appalachian region? Then you are probably of Scots-Irish descent. You can listen to this episode here or view a transcript here.

Very informative. Glad you are getting the word out on youtube and myspace-I would think many history classes could benefit from hearing or reading the episodes-they are really great.

John,

I just wanted to thank you for creating this blog and the podcasts. I am a native "Scots-Irish" Hillbilly from ET myself and love all of the informative posts and links you provide. Keep up the great work!!!

I am from Southwest Virginia and am of Scots-Irish descent on my mom's side of the family (Pattersons, Bays). Great info! I am all for the populist angle in politics. Great Blog!
