Migration is one contribution, not exclusive ethnic authorship; do not reproduce the book's ethnic-violence stereotypes as explanation.
The migration story is a broad cultural explanation rather than a single documented chain of transmission.
The book links Scots-Irish settlement routes, grain distilling knowledge, frontier farming, and a shift from familiar rye or barley toward abundant corn in the trans-Appalachian West.
