    It is curious, when you think about the extensive Scottish, Scotch-

Irish, and Irish immigration to various parts of the Eastern States at

various times (and in the 1840s, in massive numbers), not to find equally

extensive occurrence of post-vocalic consonantal /r/. Particularly given

some of the isolation in Appalachia, it is surprising that some did not

survive or even prevail.
