Riassunto

This book details the establishment, history, and hardships of the Peterborough community, founded by mostly Scotch-Irish immigrants after 1718. The author provides a meticulously researched account, painting a vivid picture of their struggles and triumphs. While the book focuses on the Peterborough settlement specifically, it also offers insights into the broader Scotch-Irish immigration experience and the challenges faced by early American settlers during the 18th century. The book explores the motivations behind the immigrants' departure from Ireland, their reasons for choosing Peterborough, and the challenges they encountered in establishing a new life in the wilderness. It also sheds light on the evolving religious and political landscape of the time, including the tensions between different denominations and the impact of the American Revolution on the community. Through detailed descriptions of daily life, religious practices, and community events, the book offers a captivating glimpse into the resilience and determination of these pioneers. Ultimately, this book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of American history and the experiences of those who shaped the nation's foundation.
