New James Webb book

[kentmitchell]

Anybody read "Born Fighting?"
James Webb, guy who wrote Fields of Fire, is the author. It's a pretty good history of the Scotch/Irish in America.
Scotch/Irish are somewhat of a mystery, really. Some of us didn't even know we were Scotch/Irish. Generally just call ourselves Americans.
Probably wouldn't have country music if it wasn't for Scotch/Irish.
If you are Scotch/Irish, Once you read it you'll know why you're a hot tempered, hard fighting, independent SOB.

I am reading James Webb's new book now and it is excellent.
A great deal of American history in this book , he discusses Pres Jackson or Ulster , whets your appetite to read more on the subject.Excellent reading , hard to put down even to sleep.
