how the Scots made America

very informative. the contributions to the Scots in America are incredible . the leadership they provided helped shape this country and make it the greatest nation in the world.

An authoritative blend of social history and culture

The Scots have influenced American history from Viking exploration times to modern times, so it's about time they deserve their own focus - and in How The Scots Made America, author Michael Fry provides this in a survey of how Americans of Scottish roots helped shaped the country. Fry is himself Scottish and has been called 'Scotland's most controversial writer': his columns have long focused on Scottish-American history both in America and England, so he's in the perfect position to provide an authoritative blend of social history and culture.
