(Quite late, but might help someone stumbling upon this question.)

Instead of dtAll = dtOne.Copy(); in Jeromy Irvine's answer you can do:

dtAll = new DataTable();
...
dtAll.Merge(dtOne);
dtAll.Merge(dtTwo);
dtAll.Merge(dtThree);
...

and so on.

This technique is useful in a loop where you want to iteratively merge data tables:

DataTable dtAllCountries = new DataTable();

foreach(String strCountry in listCountries)
{
    DataTable dtCountry = getData(strCountry); //Some function that returns a data table
    dtAllCountries.Merge(dtCountry);
}
