However, the proof is in the action so here goes.
To see if one person can make a difference, I am joining my friend in a letter-writing campaign to persuade a cartoon artist to make a graphic novel about the myths and legends of the Scots-Irish people where they lived, including Lowland/Highland Scotland, the whole Irish island and the revised versions of those stories that sprang up along the Eastern Seaboard and Appalachian Mountain chain.
Their stories spread around the world in other forms just as interesting, into Canada, Alaska, Australia, Central/South America and back to their roots in Europe/Russia, the Middle East and Africa, with a few making their way along trade routes into the Indian subcontinent and Asia.
Will the cartoonist take the challenge? Let's see. If you're interested in this experiment, write to:

By the way, the cartoonist had declared his intent to stay away from the Internet for a few months so he's probably not aware of this writing campaign. No reason to let him know, unless you want to, of course.
