"The Scotch-Irish people have been second to none in their influence upon modern civilization. Their impress
upon American institutions has been especially strong. They have been leaders in every sphere of life, both
public and private. They were the first to declare independence from Great Britain, and foremost in the
revolutionary struggle ; leaders in the formation and adoption of the Constitution, and its most powerful
defenders; most active in the extension of our national domain, and the hardiest pioneers in its development.
"The associations suggested by a few of the illustrious men of the stock are sufficient to outline the extent of their influence.
"Among them were Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, John Witherspoon, John Paul Jones, James Madison,
John Marshall, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, and Ulysses S. Grant.
"That they have been no less conspicuous in the material development and intellectual progress of the country,
is evidenced by the names of Robert Fulton, Horace Greeley, Robert Bouuer, and the McCormicks.
"These men are but types of the Scotch-Irish, and their achievements are but examples of the numberless illustrious
deeds of the race; and yet no distinct and connected history of this people has ever been written."
