- catalog abstract ""West from Shenandoah tells the powerful yet little-known story of these hardy settlers, pioneers, warriors, and mountaineers through the eyes and experiences of a single extraordinary family. This unconventional and very personal narrative follows John Lewis, his wife, Margaret, Lynn, and their five children from a deadly encounter with their Ulster landlord, through their perilous escape across the Atlantic, and into a new life fraught with danger, opportunity, and startling new challenges." "Author Thomas Lewis looks beyond the legendary exploits and heroic tales of pioneers to ask penetrating questions about who these immigrants were and why they flowed to America in such numbers. He wonders how, unlike earlier colonists, they avoided conflict with Native Americans for nearly two decades; who were the Native Americans in the area; and what sparked the recurring explosions of war as the Scotch-Irish started to move west from the rich and peaceful Shenandoah Valley."--Jacket.".
