British Buckeyes: The English, Scots, and Welsh in Ohio, 1700-1900
- Used Book in Good Condition
Because of their similar linguistic, religious, and cultural backgrounds, English, Scottish, and Welsh immigrants are often regarded as the â€œinvisible immigrants,â€ assimilating into early American society easily and quickly and often losing their ethnic identities. Yet, of all of Ohioâ€™s immigrants, the British were the most influential in terms of shaping the stateâ€™s politics and institutions. Also significant were their contributions to farming, mining, iron production, textiles, pottery, and engineering. Until British Buckeyes, historians have all but ignored and neglected these industrious settlers. Author William E. Van Vugt uses hundreds of biographies from county archives and histories, letters, Ohio and British census figures, and ship passenger lists to identify these immigrants and draw a portrait of their occupations, settlement patterns, and experiences and to underscore their role in Ohio history.
