This revised edition includes many new works from this western Pennsylvania/West Virginia region, settled in the 18th and 19th
centuries by Scots-Irish who brought with them many words distinctive to their culture in Ireland, but reflective of Scottish Gaelic words as
well. These mountain dialect words were collected, defined, and published by Henry Shoemaker in 1930, and it is from that collection
that this selection is made. These words are often familiar ones, heard by all of us, and yet not recognized for their uniqueness to this
region and their origin. This study provides the word and its meaning, as well as an etymological discussion of its origin.
