Synopsis

The impact made by the Scots in America has been remarkable. Thanks to their courage, adaptability, entrepreneurial flair and respect for education they have risen to the top in almost every sphere of activity. Scots went to this new country and became intrepid explorers, doughty fighters, great presidents, buccaneering businessmen and media moguls. Their fascinating story is brilliantly captured in this new book by one of Scotland's leading historians.
Erudite yet accessible, the book is a tribute to Fry's unrivalled storytelling ability. It is a work that anyone with an interest in Scottish or American history will want to read.
