Into the "Southern Highlands" section - north England/southern Scotland area of origin - tenant farmers had no reason to use good construction methods, or improve the soil, as the land did not belong to them and they could be moved on short notice. Trend exists to this day in Appalachians - log cabins, mobile homes (!) more popular there than in any other part of the country.

Interesting factoid - the areas in England that produced the Quakers correspond almost exactly to the areas where the Norse invaders settled. Rights of women in society dramatically different.

Not as much of a narrative as I think I was expecting - more short chunks of statistical analysis, but still interesting (in short bits - I can tell it's going to take me a while to get through it).
