Book description
For anyone interested in the history of the Scottish people, in
Scotland and North America, this book is essential reading. In Canada
and the United States today there are tens of thousands of descendants
of Highland Scots who left Lochaber around 1800 to settle in Glengarry
County. This book deals with the conditions in Scotland before
migration, settlement experiences in Glengarry, and the spread of
these Scots-Canadians from Glengarry to the American and Canadian
wests. There are fur trade and Metis connecitons, and even ties with
the Caribbean. As well as colourful articles, this book contains a
wealth of genealogical information, family trees, maps, photographs
and other illustrations.
