 I found my roots July 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book was a revelation to me. It explained so much about my Southern heritage and made me appreciate my Scots Irish ancestry. I always admired my father's "indifference to wealth" without realizing that this was a common trait among Scots-Irish Americans. I want to read more of Jim Webb's books since I enjoyed this one so much.

I READ BORN FIGHTING AS A BOOK CLUB ASSIGNMENT AND OBTAINED THE BOOK FROM THE LIBRARY . I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH THAT I ORDERED FIVE PAPERBACKS TO GIVE AS GIFTS . AFTER ABOUT 250 PAGES THE BOOKS REVERTED TO PAGE 45 AND REPEATED ABOUT 30 PAGES AND THEN RESUMED THE STORY AT ABOUT 285. THE RESULT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND EMBARRASSING TO ME . I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY RECOURCE TO THE PRINTER OR TO AMAZON.COM BUT I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW IF THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE .
Understanding and appreciating my Scots-Irish family June 19, 2008

I share Scots-Irish heritage with the author--born in a remote mountain area to a family that was poor, fiercely independent, mostly self-taught and proud. Jim Webb has written a book that explains much about this how hard-to-categorize part of the population thinks and acts.This is good reading for anyone who shares this heritage, and should be required reading for those who work with or interact with us!

I have never been a history buff, but in doing my family research and learning more about my Scots-Irish heritage, this book was a must-have and it has been a fascinating read. I'd recommend it.
