Kelly Library of St. Gregory's University, Alev Akman, Doris Ringbloom, David Widger, and Robert J. Homa "Pioneers of the Old Southwest: A Chronicle of the Dark and Bloody Ground" by Constance Lindsay Skinner is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This narrative focuses on the migrations of the Ulster Presbyterians and their settlement in the Old Southwest during the 18th century, detailing the complexities of their journey, the challenges they faced, and the socio-political circumstances of the time. The beginning of the work outlines the arrival of Ulster Scots in America, describing how they escaped religious persecution in Ireland and sought new opportunities in the New World. Skinner introduces the reader to the robust character of these immigrants, highlighting their determination to cultivate land and establish a society reflective of their values. The author also provides insights into the cultural background of the Ulstermen, their previous struggles, and their aspirations for freedom, setting the stage for their significant role in forging the American frontier. The narrative establishes a backdrop of both adversity and resilience, essential themes that will undoubtedly unfold throughout the chronicle.
