Summary
"Through networks of trails and rivers inland and established ocean routes across the seas, seventeenth-century Virginians were connected to a vibrant Atlantic world. They routinely traded with adjacent Native Americans and received ships from England, the Netherlands, and other English and Dutch colonies, while maintaining less direct connections to Africa and to French and Spanish colonies. Their Atlantic world emerged from the movement of goods and services, but trade routes quickly became equally important in the transfer of people and information. Much seventeenth-century historiography, however, still assumes that each North American colony operated as a largely self-contained entity and interacted with other colonies only indirectly, through London. By contrast, in Atlantic Virginia, historian April Lee Hatfield demonstrates that the colonies actually had vibrant interchange with each other and with peoples throughout the hemisphere, as well as with Europeans."

The Scots who had moved to Ulster in Ireland suffered under economic and religious pressures, and many chose to emigrate to the American colonies in the years before the war for independence. In the colonies, they then faced economic, religious and cultural challenges as they adapted to the new land.
Contents
Chapters: 1 The transformation of Ulster society in the wake of the Glorious Revolution / 2. Crisis and community in Ulster / 3. Ulster Presbyterian migration 1718 - 1729 / 4. Settlement and adaptation in a new world / 5. Responding to a changing frontier / 6.Surveying the frontiers of an Atlantic world
Summary
"Drawing on a vast store of archival materials, The People With No Name is the first book to tell this fascinating story in its full, transatlantic context. It explores how these people -whom one visitor to their Pennsylvania enclaves referred to as 'a spurious race of mortals known by the appellation Scotch-Irish'- drew upon both Old and New World experiences to adapt to staggering religious, economic, and cultrual change...The book moves from a vivid depiction of Ulster and its Presbyterian community in and after the Glorious Revolution to a brilliant account of religion and identity in early modern Ireland. Griffin then deftly weaves together religion and economics in the origins of the transatlantic migration, and examines how this traumatic and enlivening experience shaped patterns of settlement and adaptation in colonial America. In the American side of his story, he breaks new critical ground for our understanding of colonial identity formation and the place of the frontier in a larger empire." [book cover]
