Wayfaring strangers : the musical voyage from Scotland and Ulster to Appalachia

Ritchie, Fiona 1960- (author.). Orr, Doug, 1938- (author.). Orr, Darcy, (author.). Parton, Dolly, (writer of supplementary textual content.).

Summary: Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a steady stream of Scots migrated to Ulster and eventually onward across the Atlantic to resettle in the United States. Many of these Scots-Irish immigrants made their way into the mountains of the southern Appalachian region. They brought with them a wealth of traditional ballads and tunes from the British Isles and Ireland. Their enduring legacy of music flows today from Appalachia back to Ireland and Scotland and around the globe.
