Backcountry Marriage Ways, by David Hackett Fischer

The Scotch-Irish of the American backcountry practiced amusing marriage customs.

One of my favorite books on American history and culture. Good to see this is getting more attention in recent years.

Delightful reading. We are sorely missing a great deal nowadays.

For anyone who loved this book, I highly recommend to you “Cousins’ Wars: Religion, Politics, and the Triumph of Anglo-America” by Kevin Philips. Excellent book. It is a mammoth of a read, but I assure you that you will never tire of reading it.
