This is a reprint of J. P. MacLean’s celebrated study of the  Scottish Highlanders in America, the first work devoted exclusively to the  subject. It presents an interesting account of Highland emigration, giving first  an overview of the Highlanders of Scotland and then a description of the events  which led to the various emigration and resettlement schemes, subsequently  detailing the history of Highland settlements in the American colonies and  Highlander participation in the French and Indian Wars and the Revolution. And  it is laced throughout with lists of early land grants, petitioners, and  officers of Highland regiments. In addition, some forty-five pages of the book  are devoted to biographical sketches of distinguished Highlanders who served the  cause of either Great Britain or America during the Revolution.
