Irish Presbyterians and the Shaping of Western Pennsylvania,
1770-1830 is a historical study examining the religious culture of
Irish immigrants in the early years of America. Despite fractious
relations among competing sects, many immigrants shared a vision of
a renewed Ireland in which their versions of Presbyterianism could
flourish free from the domination of landlords and established
church. In the process, they created the institutional foundations
for western Pennsylvanian Presbyterian churches. Rural Presbyterian
Irish church elders emphasized community and ethnoreligious group
solidarity in supervising congregants' morality. Improved
transportation and the greater reach of the market eliminated
near-subsistence local economies and hastened the demise of
religious traditions brought from Ireland. Gilmore contends that
ritual and daily religious practice, as understood and carried out
by migrant generations, were abandoned or altered by American-born
generations in the context of major economic change.
