The Election of George W. Bush to his second term as president of the United States has created a new awareness of the ethnic group known as the Scots Irish. In his campain, Mr. Bush has drawn heavily upon the heritage of this particular group because of the moral and religious contribution to the development of the United States. Originating from the Province of Ulster and linked with the ancient Kingdom of Dalriada in the Hebrides of Scotland, they preserved the purity of the Christian faith during the period of the Dark Ages. The new interest being generated in the heritage of the Scots-Irish people finds the recapitulation of the ethnic history revealed in this book to be of inestimable value.
