I am interested in the various historical trends of mass European migration to the Americas, including the Scots-Irish migration following the Ulster Plantation and the transfer of the Portuguese Court to Brazil following the Napoleonic Wars, and how those events affect the cultures and development of the settled regions (i.e. Southern Appalachia, Brazil, etc). Additionally, I'm interested in the history of mountaineering, including the history of notable climbing regions and their significance in regional cultures.
