Troy Kickler has written the foreword for Scott E. Hendrix’s new book, The Impact of the English Colonization of Ireland in the Sixteenth Century: A “Very Troublesome People.” (“There is a Paddy Mountain in Ashe County, North Carolina,” Kickler writes. “A few weeks ago, during the time reading Hendrix’s manuscript, I was in said county and wondered if the postcolonial perspective that Hendrix describes had influenced the naming of this 4,314-foot elevation.”)
